asterisk users - Nov 2004 - Can anybody explain the meaning of these messages?

check your ulimits (man ulimit),
perhaps of that kernel max open fd is very low.
To see how many fd you can have open, use ulimit -n
On a standard vanilla kernel, this limit is set to 1024,
that's ok for most uses (even with a full 4 pri board
in use with 120 calls)

you can also check how many fd has your asterisk open
with something like "lsof | grep pipe | grep asterisk"

Hi All,

Am having some problems with a new asterisk installation. I get the following
messages, if anybody can shed light on their meaning, I would very much
appreciate it.
1- Unable to create formast pipe: Too many open files.
2- Unable to create toast pipe: Too many open files.
3- PRI !! Got reject for frame xx, retransmitting frame xx now, updating n_r!

My current configuration is:
Intel 7501cw2 mobo with Dual Xeon 3.06Ghz
CentOS 3.3 kernel 2.4.21-20.EL.c0smp (gcc 3.2.3 20030502) (Rehat Linux
3.2.3-39))
Intel SCSI SRCU42L with 2 HDD 36GB Seagate U320 as RAID-Mirror
1.4GB Ram.
Asterisk 1.0.1 release
TE410P *2 running Pri-ISDN framing:CCS Coding:HDB3, CRC4, Yellow

Can anybody tell me what is happening and why am I getting these messages? Am I
hitting a certain limit?
This only happens when there is a load of calls incoming. At the time I noticed
these errors,
The system recorded 4000 incoming calls with an average of 20 seconds.
For me, this does not make sense as it means am getting lots of calls being
disconnected.

Can anybody help?
