Up to 512 files can be open simultaneously at the stdio level (that is, opened and accessed by means of the fopen, fgetc, fputc, and so forth family of functions). The limit of 512 open files at the stdio level can be increased to a maximum of 2,048 by means of the _setmaxstdio function. > Because stdio-level functions, such as fopen, are built on top of the lowio > functions, the maximum of 2,048 is a hard upper limit for the number of > simultaneously open files accessed through the C run-time library. > How can apps avoid bumping into these limits? Can node automatically increase this limit to the max allowed by the lowio level? Can node switch to using Windows API alone?-- > You discuss windows build here, but I'm sure there are limits in linux too. Got same issue on Ubuntu 11.10 by running "ab -n20000 -c1000 <server>"
