famous max 1024 open files allowed

[Yaron Naveh]

I've fixed the famous "Max 1024 open files allowed" warning as per instructions in the documentation and it worked good for a while.

Then I ran out of disk space in my ec2 instance so I increased the size of my volume.

Now when I start neo4j I get the same warning again. However /etc/security/limits.conf and also ulimit -n seem to show me the right value:

root            hard    core            150000

ubuntu          soft    nofile  150000

ubuntu          hard    nofile  150000

$> ulimit -n

140000

Neo runs via user ubuntu.

Any idea?

Yaron,
in that case, there might be something not working properly with
https://github.com/neo4j/packaging/blob/master/standalone/src/main/distribution/shell-scripts/bin/utils#L326
? Could you see if that is the case, maybe fix it?

Cheers,

Thanks, turns out neo4j runs under a different user in the new volume, not sure why

That is strange. Could that be something with the Linux setup? Is the
only difference the added volume causing this?

Not sure, I am checking. This does not seem to be related to neo4j but to the system.

Thanks,

Yaron

Yeah,
sounds like it. Let us know how it works out.
