Hi Stephen,

Firstly, thank you for your accurate description below.

Just two other questions, to expand a little.

1) How can i increase the system-wide FD limit? (with the ac patch, not using
ulimit)

2) Do i need to still tweak /proc/sys/fs/inode-max and /proc/sys/fs/file-max,
and if so, how would i work out suitable values?

Thanks once again for your help,

Chris.
