Check out:
man sysctl
and
sysctl -a | grep file
on your system. You need to increase the number of files the kernel will permit
to be open at the same time. You should probably also check why you need so
many open files. Have you a lot of users? Have you a lot of processes doing
file operations? Have you got a small number of processes holding many files
open?
