Re^2: file handle limitation of 255

This problem of 255 limit is independent of ulimit. I set this on /etc/system :- set rlim_fd_max=65536 set rlim_fd_cur=65536 So that I get host# ulimit -n 65536 But still I have 255 limitation.

A workaround on Solaris 10 (update 4?) and later is to run the application with this environment variable setting: `LD_PRELOAD_32=/usr/lib/extendedFILE.so.1` [download] For details, see http://blogs.sun.com/mandalika/entry/solaris_workaround_to_stdio_s	[reply] [d/l]
