linux中文件描述符最大值,Linux中文件描述符的上限

file-max and file-nr:

The kernel allocates file handles dynamically, but as yet it doesn’t

free them again.

The value in file-max denotes the maximum number of file- handles that

the Linux kernel will allocate. When you get lots of error messages

about running out of file handles, you might want to increase this

limit.

Historically, the three values in file-nr denoted the number of

allocated file handles, the number of allocated but unused file

handles, and the maximum number of file handles. Linux 2.6 always

reports 0 as the number of free file handles — this is not an error,

it just means that the number of allocated file handles exactly

matches the number of used file handles.

Attempts to allocate more file descriptors than file-max are reported

with printk, look for “VFS: file-max limit reached”.
