These days, sar reports the current size as _always_ between 0 and 4 less than the _total_, no matter how many processes are running or how many files are actually open! No overflows are recorded, nor do errors occur at any time. The open file table is reported to be around 200/1100 most of the time, which seems reasonable. Do anyone know what may cause this strange behaviour? -- _--_|\ Craig Macbride / \ \_.--.*/ v
