I raised the kern.maxfiles to 16383 and am monitoring it with mrtg (http://www.paulbeard.org/mrtg/red/red-openfiles.html). Already it's at almost 3000 (from less than 300 when I first noted it), so I assume I'll hit 4040 before too long.
and on further examination I am finding some swap shortages (this machine has 512 Mb of real memory but only the same amount of swap).
I actually only have 256 Mb of RAM with a half gig swap partition. I added another 512 Mb swap file and I am monitoring swap vs real mem usage as well (http://www.paulbeard.org/mrtg/red/red-mem.html).
if this is all I need to do, I guess that's OK, but I'm still not sure why it became an issue all of a sudden.
Is there some way to find out what's tying up the file descriptors?
