Yes, I set "ulimit -n 131072" before running configure


The ./configure has a 2^15 limit for the _default_ FD number. Runtime should allow configuring larger values later (sans bugs).

In case it was not clear due to the presence of three(!) "defaults" in ./configure output, the fourth "default" in Amos response is about the "Maximum number of filedescriptors we can open" line (that does not mention the word "default"): Squid just does not check whether it can open more than 32768 descriptors, regardless of --max-filedescriptors.

I hope somebody will change/fix the related ./configure functionality and/or message wording. Most humans will be confused by the self-contradictory output shared by Ralf. File descriptor limits is a complicated subject, but we can do better!


Cheers,

It also depends on the I/O module selected for runtime. Make sure you avoid select(2) and poll(2) for large FD numbers.

  select(2) is limited to 1024.
  poll(2) allows numbers large enough to hit RAM and CPU limits on speed.
  epoll(2) is limited to ~3.5 million.
  kqueue(2) is technically "unlimited" but YMMV regarding bugs etc.
