Title Increasing number of opened files
Ref. No. QNX.000009684
Category(ies) Filesystem
Issue How do you increase the number of files that can be opened at the same time?


Solution You will need to do a couple of changes. The first change is: "Fsys -i table-size", where:

-i table-size  The maximum number of distinct files (associated with inode)that may be open at any time (defaults to twice the number of processes).

It is also important to ensure that the limit to Proc is high enough(-f option) and the limit on Fsys is high enough(-f option)too. If a network is involved, it has to be ensured that the limits on the remote node are also large.
If a very large disk is involved, the Fsys heap should be increased.
