Re: [squid-users] how to raise filedescriptors on kernel 2.4

You need to write in directory /root/.bashrc

# .bashrc
#####################
ulimit -n 32768--------------------> this line.....for your case 4096
#########################
# User specific aliases and functions

alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

You need logout for to take efect.

Second step you write this

/usr/include/bits/types.h to define __FD_SETSIZE 32768 (For your case 4096)

In my case....i have 32768 filedescriptor

File descriptor usage for squid:
        Maximum number of file descriptors: 32768
        Largest file desc currently in use: 15
        Number of file desc currently in use: 12
        Files queued for open: 0
        Available number of file descriptors: 32756
        Reserved number of file descriptors: 100
        Store Disk files open: 0
