Hi
We are experiencing a "too many open files" problem on VMWare Ubuntu
when running the lucene re-indexing, whereas this is done on a mac and
if running the lucene re-indexing on Mac OS X everything is fine.
I could image that the VMWare Ubuntu is slow on the IO (because of the
various layers) and hence a "queue" of open files is established which
are not being closed fast enough and hence when the limit of Ubuntu is
reached it will "crash".
I guess we could increase this limit
#su root
#ulmit -n 1000000
but I don't think that's really solving the problem.
Anyway it's good to keep this in mind when using virtualization.
Cheers
Michael
