In my case I wanted to open several thousand shapefiles (each shapefile is actually 3-4 files). So in Linux there is a limit/ulimit command you can use to increase the number of open file descriptors but it can only increase it up to the hard limit. To increase the hard limit I added a file to the system directory which sets various limits in /etc/security/limits.d I called it 99-nofile.con in it I increased the hard limit to 65536. Check /etc/security/limits.conf for examples. Then I rebooted now I've been able to work with projects with thousands of shapefiles with no problem. I have lots of memory(128GB) which might be a factor as well. > Thanks > Nicolas > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-user mailing list > [email protected] > List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user > Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
