Title QNX4 limits on open files
Ref. No. QNX.000009506
Category(ies) Kernel, Filesystem, Configuration
Issue Is there a limit on the number of processes that can open the same file at the same time?  If so, how do you increase the number of files that can be opened at a time?

Solution There is no limit on the number of processes that can open the same file at the same time.

To increase the number of files that can be open at one time, ensure that the limit to Proc is high enough (-f option) and the limit on Fsys is high enough (-f option).  If a network is involved, make sure that the limits on the remote node are also large.  If a very large disk is involved, the Fsys heap may have to be increased.
