maxfiles and maxfiles_lim

Increase the nflocks kernel parameter. If you have glance it is one of the items that you can monitor.

I know it's a different platform, but check this thread:

Hi

Think your nflocks is not sufficient. On my
system I put nflocks=nproc.
You have nflocks=1845 and nproc=4096 !

Hi,

Increase the nflocks and
nfile parameters. You can
monitor their current usage
by going into glance and
selecting option "t" . It will
list the usage of key kernel
parms.

Hi Joseph:

Increase 'nflocks' and regenerate your kernel. 'nflocks' specifies the maximum number of file/record locks that are available system-wide. The default is only 200.

You would have increased nflocks also. When dealing with the kernel parameters nfile, maxfiles we need to consider nflocks too.
