We are operating a 6-node cluster running on Ubuntu, and have noticed that the ulimit settings within the slave context are difficult to set and predict.
The documentation is a bit unclear on this point, as well. We have had some luck adding a configuration line to /etc/init/mesos-slave.conf as follows: limit nofile 20000 20000 limit fsize unlimited unlimited The nofile limit seems to be respected, however the fsize limit does not. It is also mysterious that the system-wide limits are not inherited by the slave process. We would prefer to set all of these system-wide and have mesos-slave observe them. Can you please advise where you are setting your ulimits for the mesos-slave if it is working for you? Thanks, June Taylor System Administrator, Minnesota Population Center University of Minnesota
