Verify in /proc : $ grep . /proc/sys/fs/file-* /proc/sys/fs/file-max:154060 /proc/sys/fs/file-nr:3850 0 154060 I am currently using 3850 files out of 154060 system-wide available file handles (Debian, kernel 2.6.8). You may reach the limit set in your kernel. Change this at run-time with something like "echo 154060 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max" Set this at boot-time by modifying /etc/sysctl.conf, if you distro handles it. Maybe something is leaking file handles somewhere. In that case, you have to find an fix the problem. -- NH
