因为最近项目上线,要求服务器支持10万并发的socket长连接,所以要改动Linux的一些配置,其中包括每个进程的能打开的最大句柄数,最大线程数,以及每个线程的堆栈大小等,下面这篇文章讲了如何修改系统的进程最大打开句柄数,文章有点老了,但质量很高。
How to increase file descriptors max limit on Linux
Today my DBA reported that the server she was working on was spitting out “too many open files” errors and no new processes could be started.
This is a common problem with DB servers with heavy transactions. In my environment there are 6 DB instances running on the server. No quite the optimized setup I would say.
The fix was to increase the total file descriptors kernel parameter count in the /etc/sysctl.conf file. I doubled my limit from 8192 to 16384.
The walk through,
1. Find out what the current open file descriptor limit is.
(下面这里,我们的服务器查询的数字是160万多,哈哈)
~# more /proc/sys/fs/file-max
~# 8192
or
~# sysctl -a | grep fs.file-max
~# fs.file-max = 8192
2. View how many open file descriptors are currently being used.
~# more /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
~# 8191
3. View how many files are open. The number returned might defer as 1 file descriptor can have multiple open files attached to it.
~# lsof | wc -l
~# 10325
4. Edit the kernel paramneter file /etc/sysctl.conf and add line “fs.file-max=[new value]” to it.
~# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
fs.file-max = 331287
5. Apply the changes.
~# sysctl -p
~# fs.file-max = 331287
Problem fixed.
