Hey Severin, I just went through the steps to install Riak on a m1.small using AMI ami-3fec7956. After that I enabled PAM based limits and set them to 65536 as outlined in the "Enable PAM Based Limits for Debian & Ubuntu" section here [1]. I *DID NOT* uncomment `UseLogin` in the sshd configuration file. Below are the commands to verify that the open files limit was increased:
ubuntu@ip-10-108-23-155:~$ sudo su riak riak@ip-10-108-23-155:/home/ubuntu$ ulimit -a | grep "open files" open files (-n) 65536 riak@ip-10-108-23-155:/home/ubuntu$ Are you using a different AMI? Can you try giving it another shot using only the section on enabling PAM based limits?
