Hello Tom,
The max_connections =200 and max_files_per_process =1000 as you mentioned.
So should a max_files_per_process =500 helps?
I could see from the number of connections to the databaseis not
exceeding 20. But still these 20 are causing all the damage or using up
all the openfiles quota.
Thanks,
Sri
