Limits and performances

[Bertrand LUPART <bertrand.lupart AT linkeo.com>]

Hey,


I'm facing a Caudium which dies with "Out of sockets (1024 active)".  
Thus i was looking for a way to increase the number of file opened on  
Linux.

The Caudium HOW-TO gives some hints on section "5.3. How to tune your  
system for best Caudium performances" for various operating systems.

After some discussion with Tamas on IRC, it seems that those are  
system-wide, maybe deprecated on 2.6 and won't help Caudium to open  
more than 1024 files at a time.
I guess "ulimit -n xxxx" would help when invoqued from /etc/init.d/ 
caudium script. If so, it should be put into caudiumctl, too.

Can a Linux guru emphasize on this?



What about using rlimit in Process.create_process()->create() in  
start-caudium?
