Too many files open
Added by Neeldip Barman about 4 years ago
Hi,
I am trying to find the sum of a variable from 1440 files using cdo enssum. But I am getting this error regarding too many files open. What is the max no of supported files?
Using v1.9.7.
Regards
Neeldip

The maximum number of open files depends on your system. You can check it in bash with "ulimit -n".
Cheers,
Uwe

Mine is 1024.
Is there any way to increase that?
Is it RAM dependent?

Neeldip,
May I ask what your solution was? I am having similar issues with mergetime.
Thanks,

Run
ulimit -n 1024
Or any other value, just keep the value greater than your no of files

Here is a reference for changing the ulimit https://medium.com/@muhammadtriwibowo/set-permanently-ulimit-n-open-files-in-ubuntu-4d61064429a. I needed it to be 15000 and I have successfully changed in in my Ubuntu.
