Question
max open files
Does anyone know if /proc/sys/fs/file-max is actually the maximum open files we can have?
On OpenVZ there's another limit at /proc/user_beancounters that usually sets it at 5500 or so for a VPS.
I get 49790 from file-max, anyone know if this is the actual max # of open file descriptors allowed?
