Hi Peter, I even reboot the machine but no change. Is it any setting other than /etc/security/limit.conf? Wong ----- Original Message ----- From: <auxsvr@gmail.com> To: <opensuse@opensuse.org> Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2010 18:45 Subject: Re: [opensuse] Incrase softlimit

Dear All,

Need advise how to incrase the softlimit -n.

Here is my current value;

----snip----

OpenSuSE:~ # ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 7559 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) 829004 open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 7559 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) 1615600 file locks (-x) unlimited

---snip---

I want to increase it to 8192.

Change the file "/etc/security/limit.conf" seems not help

* soft nofile 8192

You need to login again for the setting to take effect.

Thx & Rgds,

Yes, /etc/sysconfig/ulimit which is parsed by /etc/initscript and /etc/init.d/multipathd also sets the -n (if activated)

Try find /etc -type f | xargs grep ulimit

Hi Peter, Below the captured report. I run SQUID and need FILE DESCRIPTOR more than 1024. That is why I want to increase the softlimit -n to higher value. Currently I set to 16384, but Squid still reports FD 1024. Thanks.
