wohali commented on issue #895: CouchDB 1.6.1 fails to start under macOS High Sierra URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/895#issuecomment-339134462 'emfile' error means you are running out of file handles. We explain this here: http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.0/maintenance/performance.html?highlight=file%20descriptor#erlang > Note that on Mac OS X, Erlang will not actually increase the file descriptor limit past 1024 (i.e. the system header?defined value of FD_SETSIZE). See [this tip for a possible workaround](http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2011-December/063119.html) and [this thread for a deeper explanation](http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2011-October/061971.html).
