James,
I've also raised the maximum number of open file descriptors for the debian-tor user. In /etc/security/limits.conf I added debian-tor soft nofile 65000 debian-tor hard nofile 65000 I'm not sure if this worked because (even after reboot) sudo -u debian-tor bash ulimit -Hn returns 4096.
I'm currently not in front of a Debian box but I believe you will need to change the pam.d configuration, the limits module is imho not loaded in the su(do) configuration.
James, if you use the default init.d script that comes with torproject's tor package you shouldn't have to worry about file descriptors. You can verify it via grep open /proc/<tor pid>/limits I see you are only running a single tor instance. If you are on a GBit/s link you certainly want to run more than one instance. The 3 months graph on atlas show a steady grow in used bw, so it looks like it will continue that way. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVEEy9AAoJEFv7XvVCELh02J8P/28fEEyZyNozUNVZ11S2SVI5 LUQ9tBd5+bJdk4AsCFxu+OFkes+uI+uvaA0jb0i8xX0epS6gr42sLa4deBd1USH2 gyUBQYNu9ejSfl2xrWnxNDM19UJTqw59QcfwIuwObjiP5YEma0CQ9VbK5CBP6N9H wJI0berlhchY0k31BqrwDVMHSkbxTbVd9dYNkQ1So6VnOqoi5vkt4oFAlWNzvMLL vpgPrFMr+JKVIDVXM8CYt16oYc0EfatKmuNgaMsrF2zAGoZXHaTuoeeWcPZqHGKq T7/EzlhjNsKYaVoINeitgG1EaRqPeHe0QRx8+fjPxorJMGMdtOI69sMk5HNwSkql X01BgNhwhizpQBoi1fmwHipbIppMBEPqwBdKPeUTuTl9RyJ9uD6kJG5w1JqZx1eB AvuRzgLK/JLKH8LzsYI4FKfnzg08RWPk6XmfDF218LWFzXV9kYVf6/KtnfEa+mnp RV5jxyh0asuGxnl2xQBNt0Bn48kM8xvNAZGfmlivW+j/tHTolSAHj7LoUJfpodxj vC+mFY3Swq772EBZ4mdZwAVEy1LGMMaIMMAuLVIv1Y67lmon+p6xvpglhRWZNJyF yYWy0kxjIAj0qW9AOBB9Q0cxvrZQ70gxcsfVWpSimhs6Y1QwJGvYi8BnMieiF0CE 9WdLPL1OO/mXGTxtTAHl =zLbh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
