Re: table full

Hi:

It means at one time you exceeded the maximum number of open files. Each open file is represented by a slot in a kernel table limited by the kernel tunable 'nfile' prior to 11.31. On 11.31 the limitation has been removed and the number of open files is constrained only by available system memory.

You can increase 'nfile' as necessary.

Regards!
