Hello, I have a problem which makes no sense to me, at least not the way I understand. My mail server is compaining about maxproc limit:
# tail /var/log/messages May 8 10:34:15 mx kernel: maxproc limit exceeded by uid 82, please see tuning(7) and login.conf(5). May 8 10:34:38 mx last message repeated 12 times May 8 10:35:14 mx last message repeated 18 times May 8 10:36:32 mx last message repeated 41 times May 8 10:36:35 mx kernel: maxproc limit exceeded by uid 82, please see tuning(7) and login.conf(5). My maxproc as well as maxfiles are artificially raised (a lot raised): # sysctl kern.maxfiles kern.maxfiles: 80000 # sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc kern.maxfilesperproc: 80000 # sysctl kern.maxproc kern.maxproc: 9000 # sysctl kern.maxprocperuid kern.maxprocperuid: 80000 However what I see regarding proc usage is by uid 82 is: # ps -U 82 | wc -l 723 Proccess count for UID 82 is never highter than 913 (monitored the last whole hour, while log messages were still showing, complaining about maxproc limit beeing exceeded). I would like to understand and figure out what I need to tune in order to raise the current limit, and also find what the current limit is. Thank you a lot and in advance. -- =========== Eduardo Meyer pessoal: dudu.me...@gmail.com profissional: ddm.farmac...@saude.gov.br _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
