serge111 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 hi, i have a virtual dedicated server with godaddy that has been freezing and i have to restart it. this happens every couple of days. their support told me the problem is too many files open. the number that limits that is in /proc/sys/file-max however i can't change that file even under root. i have tried chmod, chown and echo 8096 > /proc/sys/file-max but the file still stays the same.... -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 1 07:42 file-max thats the permissions on it, but it doesn't change! its current value is like 262,000 which is too large, it should be like 8096. please help!
