Too many open files

[wasabi]

Hello Again,

I have found every so often that I am getting the errors pertaining
about too many open files. I have done some research on the internet
and tried to use

ulimit -n unlimited
ulimit -f unlimited

However I am still getting this issue. I am on Ubuntu. Is there some
configuration I am missing?

Regards,
kimiisa
