Linux打开文件描述符程序,linux 设置最大打开文件描述符数

How do I increase the maximum number of open files under CentOS Linux? How do I open more file descriptors under Linux? The ulimit command provides control over the resources available to the shell and/or to processes started by it, on systems that allow such control. The maximum number of open file descriptors displayed with following command (login as the root user).

Command To List Number Of Open File Descriptors

Use the following command command to display maximum number of open file descriptors: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max Output:

75000

75000 files normal user can have open in single login session. To see the hard and soft values, issue the command as follows: # ulimit -Hn # ulimit -Sn To see the hard and soft values for httpd or oracle user, issue the command as follows: # su - username In this example, su to oracle user, enter: # su - oracle $ ulimit -Hn $ ulimit -Sn

System-wide File Descriptors (FD) Limits

The number of concurrently open file descriptors throughout the system can be changed via /etc/sysctl.conf file under Linux operating systems.

The Number Of Maximum Files Was Reached, How Do I Fix This Problem?

Many application such as Oracle database or Apache web server needs this range quite higher. So you can increase the maximum number of open files by setting a new value in kernel variable /proc/sys/fs/file-max as follows (login as the root): # sysctl -w fs.file-max=100000 Above command forces the limit to 100000 files. You need to edit /etc/sysctl.conf file and put following line so that after reboot the setting will remain as it is: # vi /etc/sysctl.conf Append a config directive as follows: fs.file-max = 100000 Save and close the file. Users need to log out and log back in again to changes take effect or just type the following command: # sysctl -p Verify your settings with command: # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max OR # sysctl fs.file-max

User Level FD Limits

The above procedure sets system-wide file descriptors (FD) limits. However, you can limit httpd (or any other users) user to specific limits by editing /etc/security/limits.conf file, enter: # vi /etc/security/limits.conf Set httpd user soft and hard limits as follows: httpd soft nofile 4096 httpd hard nofile 10240 Save and close the file. To see limits, enter: # su - httpd $ ulimit -Hn $ ulimit -Sn
