After rebooting with the new values, I did manage to get to launch a lot more containers, failing at only the 232nd one.
I wonder if the issue is not the User number of open files, but the Root number of open files, which requires a reboot to get updated. I'll try to play around more to really nail down what things actually need to be changed, but 200+ containers is a huge difference from 19. (Also need to run this test with Juju in the mix.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602192 Title: when starting many LXD containers, they start failing to boot with "Too many open files" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1602192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
