Hmm... Murphy's law...  As soon as I reach out for help, I find something

I'm going to try setting fs.file-max=301472 in /etc/sysctl.conf to increase
what must be the default of 101472 for the ext3 filesystem on this version
of linux.

Unless someone has a better idea?

Thanks,

That controls the number of files that can be open concurrently - it's a 
memory usage control, and won't affect disk usage.
