Subject: FileDescriptors again...

Hello all,
 my cache.log file show (many times) this error :

WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors

I saw Squid FAQ but I need help to solve this problem.

This is my configuration :

Linux Suse 5.3 with 2.0.35 kernel (I think to upgrade to Suse Kernel
2.0.36)
squid-2.2.STABLE3
256 (sigh..) file descriptors.

I changed /usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h file like this :

#define OPEN_MAX 512 /* # open files a process may have */

but (squid) ./configure reply :

>checking Maximum number of filedescriptors we can open... 256
>WARNING: 256 may not be enough filedescriptors if your
> cache will be very busy. Please see the FAQ page
> http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/FAQ/FAQ-11.html#filedescriptors
> on how to increase your filedescriptor limit

I need to restart Linux server ? I need to remake Kernel ? I must use
2.0.36 kernel with Michael O'Reilly "filehandle_patch_linux_v8_04" ?

Please reply also to vittorionardone@fvnet.it

Thanks all.
