Follow-up Comment #4, bug #100633 (project xrootd): Hi Andy, Different config knob. Look at "/proc/self/limits"; you're looking at the system-wide max, David was talking about the per-user max. When we hit this in Condor (which heavily uses processes) or HDFS, we just include an entry in /etc/security/limits.d to increase the limit for that specific user: [root@red-d8n12 ~]# tail -n 2 /etc/security/limits.d/hdfs.conf hdfs - nofile 32768 hdfs - nproc 65536 Lukasz could do the same for Xrootd.
