RE: [squid-users] WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors (on RH 9.0 Squid2.5.Stable5)

Hi John,

It worked!

But according to the FAQ, I should tweak /usr/include/linux/limits.h
That is why I was confused why it didn't work.

Thanks to you.

I sent this to the last a few days ago but it did not show appear.
A quick rundown on increasing the number of file descriptors
-------

ulimit -SHn 2048
grep -R __FD_SETSIZE /usr/include
vi /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h
and change
#define __FD_SETSIZE 1024

to

#define __FD_SETSIZE 2048

rebuild squid from scratch (configure, make etc......)

put [ulimit -SHn 2048] in your squid start up script

and you're in action

I've just done this to build my own RPM of squid-2.5.STABLE5 with 2048
file
descriptors. (Which I have not tested yet)

to rebuild the redhat rpm for 4096 file descriptors

rpm -i squid-2.4.STABLE7-4.src.rpm
ulimit -SHn 4096
vi /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h (to change __FD_SETSIZE)
cd /usr/src/redhat
rpmbuild --clean -ba SPECS/squid.spec

should do the job for you. (or pretty close)

I would also recommend that you return __FD_SETSIZE to 1024 after you've
built your RPM which should be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

I would also suggest that you edit squid.spec & change Release: to
4.4096.8.0 so you will know which RPM is which. You should then finish
up
with squid-2.4.STABLE7-4.4096.8.0.i386.rpm
