Soft File Limit and Hard File Limit

[Jojo Castro]

Hi all,

Any idea what does file CTSTATUS.FCS is?
When I view the file, it contains the following messages:

Tue Nov 11 11:37:37 2008
- User# 01 Server detected Soft File Limit is : 5000
Tue Nov 11 11:37:37 2008
- User# 01 Server detected Hard File Limit is : 5000

Fyi also that this server hang when we set-up the server as standby database (apply archive files).

Thanks!

U may have to check maxfiles and maxfiles_lim kernal parameters to check the soft and hard file limits..

it is the soft and hard limit for the number of files a process is allowed to have open simultaneously.

Shalom,

These limits are kernel limits for number of files open.

The file is of unknown origin, probably written by an application that wants to open files but can not.

Hi,

Two parameters, maxfiles and maxfiles_lim, respectively, govern the soft and hard limits on the number of files a process can open simultaneously. nfile governs the maximum number of files that can be open on the entire system at any given time.
