Hi, folks,
in src/template/darwin:
# Select appropriate semaphore support. Darwin 6.0 (Mac OS X 10.2) and up
# support System V semaphores; before that we have to use POSIX semaphores,
# which are less good for our purposes because they eat a file descriptor
# per backend per max_connection slot.
To my understanding, the number of descriptors created by POSIX semaphores
would be # of actual clients times max_connection.
However, I monitor the number of open files using sysctl, and I find that
kern.num_files doesn't match the result calculated by the formula that is
inferred by me...
So, what would the number of file descriptors be, when using POSIX
semaphore?
Thanks!
