List,
In 'normal' usage (for me) I occasionally get errors of too many files
open and things start failing horrible. Doing a search for solutions to
this, it says to increase the number in /proc/sys/fs/files-max. I've
increased it from 4096 to 8192. So far all's been well, but are there any
sideeffects to this that anybody's encountered that I should pay attention
to?
Thanks,
Bernard.
