In running a squid on a large and capable (Dual Xeon 4GB RAM) server
to supply furniture graphics for a large website we are unable to find
any way to increase the number of available file descriptors beyond
4096. The server has the following ulimits:-
ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 32768
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) unlimited
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max gives
206283
and /etc/default/squid contains
SQUID_MAXFD=32768
I assume we need to rebuild the package after changing the appropriate
files but does anyone have any clue what changes we need to make to
which files?
