If I do an
lsof | grep user | wc -l
I get a number returned in the 25,000 range.
If I check
ulimit -a user
nofiles is set at 1024.
Can someone help me to understand the number of open files setting better? Clearly it's not the case, but I thought a hard nofiles of 1024 meant a user can't have more than 1024 open files.
Interesting. Thank you for busting out the source, it makes it much easier to understand how it plays out. – HayekSplosives – 2013-04-08T17:03:27.173
