I'm trying to install riak on my OSX 10.8.5, but when using the command riak-admin test it always fail. I can't find a solution for it!
Also using sudo riak-admin test doesn't help it.
I have installed riak(1.4.2) through brew.

Following this procedure http://docs.basho.com/riak/... solved my issue. It has to do with the Open Files Limit on mac OSX.
To check the current limits on your Mac OS X system, run:
>launchctl limit maxfiles
maxfiles 256 unlimited
Edit (or create) /etc/launchd.conf and increase the limits. Add lines that look like the following (using values appropriate to your environment):
limit maxfiles 16384 32768
Save the file, and restart the system for the new limits to take effect. After restarting, verify the new limits with the launchctl limit command:
>launchctl limit maxfiles
maxfiles 16384 32768
