Re: File descriptor

Yes, but if you increase it beyond 1024, you stand a chance of crashing
any applications that were compiled before you made the change, because
FD_SETSIZE has changed.

Since the kernel writes back into the fd_set arrays, if it thinks they
are larger than they really are, you risk it corrupting a running
process' stack or free-store. Hence, you sould recompile any
network-aware apps (NFS is a biggie for this) if you change the
per-process fd limit beyond 1024.

Did you read the documentation AND the FAQ?
If not, I'll probably still answer your question, but my patience will
be limited, and you take the risk of sarcasm and ridicule.
