Hi, im writing this because i don`t know any further.
I always get the message “Too many open files in system” after we ran some
application. They are already closed, or some still open. It is already
enough to startup one special program and end it again. The next program
won´t startup then with the message:
Too many open files in system
We figured out that everytime this happenes the Max files hit the Alloc`d
line.
May the Used too, but thats unsure, because you generally can not run
fsysinfo after the error occures . Only if u still can close a lot of
Apps, so some fd´s are “free´d”.
We have a workaround right now to open about 250 files right after startup
and close them again, so the Alloc`d border rises up to 250. But thats not
something that should be nessecary.
If you experienced similar trouble or solved that problem, please answer.
( i am tired of rebooting … since after the error occured, you can not
open any program.)
I am facing an error message “TOO MANY FILES OPEN” when
running an application. As suggested by QNX documents i changed the
system limits for file descriptors using setrlimit() function. but
proved futile. I have increased the limit on file descriptors, but it
did not prove useful. Does anyone have any idea . Kindly reply in this
regard as it is urgent.

As Mario suggested earlier in this thread, look at the -H option to Fsys: http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/qnx_4.25_docs/qnx4/utils/f/fsys.html#Heap_size
I once too got this “TOO MANY OPEN FILES” error.
In my case the “-H” option was set, but set for too big HDD than really
was attached: I had there the “-Hdisk80” with just 40GB disk.
