What is the correct way to raise the number of descriptors a process can have from the default of 1024?
If I try to set it higher than 1024 using limit -n xxxx, it says, "ulimit: bad limit: Operation not permitted".
I tried changing:
#define NR_OPEN 1024
.. to:
#define NR_OPEN 2048
... Then recompiled, the kernel booted up to a point but after mounting swap space the machine seemed to hang with messages like:
get unused fd 0 not NULL.
Is there some other way to tweak this? Or is there something else I have to bump up when I bump up NR_OPEN? This is for a web server with a bunch of virtual domains, each domain eats 3 descriptors.
Thanks!
