I've recently hit a problem with a httpd process running out of space
for more fd.
While I'm seriouly looking for a fd-leak in the php-development
behind the web server, I realized that i didn't know how to increase
this parameter.
Is there any /proc interface for increasing the number of file
descriptors per process?
Must I recompile? maybe changes must be made to files_struct?
I've seen a patch for "variable fd array patch for 2.1.90" from Bill
Hawes, is there a patch for 2.2.x or 2.4.x kernels?

Hi,
You can change per process file descriptor limit with ulimit.
If your processes are using a lot of fds you can increase system wide limits
with:
/proc/sys/fs/file-max
/proc/sys/fs/inode-max

Yes you can do it in /proc/sys/fs/file-nr

No. Use rlimi.

Nope. Its all dynamic except for fd_set size, and you should be using poll()
anyway ;)
