Too Many Open Files with Hudson
November 15, 2010
I was getting an error during the build of my java project though Hudson, which was saying:
ZoneInfo: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_22/jre/lib/zi/ZoneInfoMappings (Too many open files)
Looking around, this was caused because my user had too many files open (surprise, surprise!)
$ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 387511
gives the the total number of file handles …
