Linux “too many open files”

Linux "too many open files"

遇到这个问题是因为你的程序打开的文件数(记住在linux中很多资源都被认为是文件,比较磁盘文件和socket)超过系统允许的最大值,在Centos中这个默认值是4096。要修改它,打开下面的文件

/etc/security/limits.conf

添加如下内容,保存

*         hard    nofile      500000
*         soft    nofile      500000
root      hard    nofile      500000
root      soft    nofile      500000

然后重新登陆。

然后用下面的命令产看:

$ ulimit -Hn

 

If you are getting error “Too many open files (24)” then your application/command/script is hitting max open file limit allowed by linux. You need to increase open file limit as below:

Increase limit

Per-User Limit

Open file: /etc/security/limits.conf

Paste following towards end:

*         hard    nofile      500000
*         soft    nofile      500000
root      hard    nofile      500000
root      soft    nofile      500000

500000 is fair number. I am not sure what is max limit but 999999 (Six-9) worked for me once as far as I remember.

Once you save file, you may need to logout and login again.

pam-limits

I read at many places that an extra step is neede for limit to change for daemon processes. I did not need following yet, but if above changes are not working for you, you may give this a try.

Open /etc/pam.d/common-session

Add following line:

session required pam_limits.so

System-Wide Limit

Set this higher than user-limit set above.

Open /etc/sysctl.conf 

Add following:

fs.file-max = 2097152

Run:

sysctl -p

Above will increase “total” number of files that can remain open system-wide.

Verify New Limits

Use following command to see max limit of file descriptors:

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

Hard Limit

ulimit -Hn

Soft Limit

ulimit -Sn

if you are logged in as root:

Check limit for other user

Just replace www-data by linux username you wish to check limits for:

su - www-data -c 'ulimit -aHS' -s '/bin/bash'

Check limits of a running process:

Find process-id (PID):

ps aux | grep process-name

Suppose, XXX is PID, then run following commands to check limits:

cat /proc/XXX/limits
