I think (not sure) the line of interest is this;
/steam.sh: line 49: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not
perm(mitted i guess)
A google search turns up with this;
Determine the Limit
Each user has a limit for the number of open files. This limit applies to each
process run by the user. For example say the limit is 1024 and the user has
three processes running, each process can open 1024 files for a total of 3072.
To determine the soft limit:
ulimit -Sn
1024
To determine the hard limit:
ulimit -Hn
2048
ulimit -n shows you the soft limit. The soft limit is the limit applied for
opening files. The hard limit is the limit you can increase the soft limit to.
Increase the Limit
To increase the limit to 1080 use the following command:
ulimit -Sn 1080
You can change the hard limit too, ulimit -Hn 2040. ulimit -n 2040 changes both
the soft and hard limits to the same value. Once you change the hard limit, you
cannot increase it above the value you just set without rebooting.
If you try to set the soft limit above the hard limit you get the following
message:
ulimit -Sn 3000
bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument
Note: Once you reboot the limit is reset.
You cannot determine the limit of the root user using ulimit. For example:
sudo ulimit -n
sudo: ulimit: command not found
To make the limits bigger and to make the change permanent, edit your
configuration file and reboot. On Ubuntu you edit the following file:
sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf
Add lines like these:
steve soft nofile 4000
steve hard nofile 5000
You can use * in the limit.conf file instead of a user name to specify all
users, however this does not apply to the root!
soft nofile 20000
hard nofile 30000
The limit.conf file is applied during the boot process. If you start a process
during the boot process before the limits are applied, you will get the default
1024 value. You can record the starting limit in a file right before starting
your process, then check the value to make sure it’s the expected value.
ulimit -n >mylimit.txt
You cannot start a process late enough in the boot process! For example: “sudo
update-rc.d tomcat defaults 99 01″ is at the end and it is still too late.
The work around is to force the limit to be set before starting the process.
Put “ulimit -n 4000″ before starting your process, then the limit.conf file is
processed here.
Testing the Limit
I wrote a program called openmany that I use to test the open file limit. It
creates a bunch of files in a folder then opens them.
java -jar openmany
Usage: openmany [-c] number
c Continue to run holding on to the open files.
number The number of files to open.
java -jar openmany 100
Creating 100 files in folder openmany.
Opening the files.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55
56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81
82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99
To remove the directory of files created by the program:
rm -r openmany/
When setting the limit at 60,000, the system ran out of memory at about 30,000.
So the effective limit is dependent on the java memory size allocated to the
program.
Here is an example of trying to open more than the limit:
ulimit -n
1024
java -jar openmany.jar 1050
…
1004 1005 1006 1007 1008 1009 1010 1011 1012 1013 1014 1015 1016 1017 1018
Exception in thread “main” java.io. FileNotFoundException: openmany/1019.txt
(Too many open files)
at java.io. FileInputStream.open (Native Method)
at java.io. FileInputStream.<init> (FileInputStream.java:106)
at java.io. FileReader.<init> (FileReader.java:55)
at openmany.Main.main (Main.java:49)
You can run the program as root and test its limits too:
sudo java -jar openmany.jar 1050
Set System Wide Limits
There is another file limit in the system, the total number of files that can
be opened by all processes.
To see the file max value:
sysctl -a | grep fs.file-max
fs.file-max = 170469
Since it is so big there is no reason to change it.
