If you're hitting a kernel limit, you can change this by setting /proc/sys/fs/file-max. You can check if you're hitting the kernel limit by: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr That'll show you 3 numbers. First is number of allocated file handles, second is number used, third is maximum number. If the first two numbers aren't approaching the third then you're probably not hitting a kernel limit, but are hitting a process (set in libc) limit.
