The maximum number of files that can be opened at one time is a system dependent value. For example, with SunOS, the maximum number of open file descriptors is set at 256. This value can be modified; however, system performance may be degraded as this value is increased. Remember that for each IDFS source requested, three files are opened (data, header, VIDF).
