How do i change the "soft rlimits". I'm using Mac OSX 10.8.2

Tnx in advance


Solution

  • What you are searching for is launchctl limit maxfiles.
    To change it you need to run command launchctl limit maxfiles 1024 2048 for example.
    To permanently change those values you need to create /etc/launchctl.conf and set there values you need (see here for details) or add command mentioned above to your ~/.bash_profile.
    Or you can create script which will set limit and then launch mongo
