How to increase "dbus-daemon" resource limits ?
Issue
-
On RHEL6 system, there is a limitation that the maximum number of open file descriptors for the
dbus-daemon --session
process is set to a value of 1024. -
This is not enough for systems where users execute many gnome sessions(approximately 55 concurrent plus a few user applications in each gnome session).
-
In above case the
dbus-daemon
easily hits its 1024 file descriptor limit. This results indbus-daemon
consuming 100% processor and requiring a reboot of the machine to recover. -
Is there any method to increase
dbus-daemon
resource limits ?
Environment
