PANIC: Too many open files

788748Mar 24 2011 — edited Apr 13 2011
Hi,

I'm trying to open 1000 databases, but I get this error:

PANIC: Too many open files

However, lsof shows that the process has 1058 open file discriptors, and ulimit -n is set to 16384.

I have 2 questions:

- Are there any other settings I need to adjust so that I don't get "Too many open files" error?
- Will it hurt the performance to have thousands of databases?

Thanks!
