[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk 1.0.1 Too many open files

[Sean Cook]

Easiest thing (as long as filedescriptors are being closed properly) is
to increase the number of allowed open files:

 /proc/sys/fs/file-max
       This  file  defines  a  system-wide  limit on the number of open
       files for all processes.  (See also setrlimit(2), which  can  be
       used  by  a process to set the per-process limit, RLIMIT_NOFILE,
       on the number of files it may open.)  If you get lots  of  error
       messages  about running out of file handles, try increasing this
       value:

       echo 100000 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max

       The kernel constant NR_OPEN imposes an upper limit on the  value
       that may be placed in file-max.

       If  you  increase  /proc/sys/fs/file-max,  be  sure  to increase
       /proc/sys/fs/inode-max  to  3-4   times   the   new   value   of
       /proc/sys/fs/file-max, or you will run out of inodes.
