Hi
On a busy Zope instance, we're getting increasingly more often errors of "too many files open". I already added a line in the start script for that instance to increase the ulimit to 1024 (the maximum for the machine by default).
That is odd. Zope normally doesn't have many files open. Are you heavily using external files? e.g. via ExternalFile or LocalFS or CMF's skins tool?
I am now considering increasing the maximum for that machine to 2048 (or higher), but wanted to know if other people have experimented with this before and what risks/dangers I should be aware of doing this.
Here's what my start script looks at the moment (simplified):
ulimit -n 1024 python /customer_dir/customer_one/z2.py -X -a212.96.140.5 -w80
This is Zope 2.4 on a Solaris (Intel) box.
2.4 is very old, don't know how much help you'll find here for that... -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
