[Go] "Warning:soft rlimits too Low" in MongoDB with Mac OS X

Transferred from: Programming and technology

If you get the warning when you connect to MONGO shell in Mac OX X:

* * Warning:soft rlimits too low. Number of files is a, should be at least 1000

A simple-to-be-setting the limit just before starting with this mongod :

Ulimit-n 1024x768 && Mongod

Or this:

Launchctl Limit maxfiles 1024 1024

But if you're running MONGO in a development environment this shouldn ' t is a problem, you can just ignore it.

This was a temporary and not very pretty fix. To do this permanent the /etc/launchd.conf file:

Launchctl Limit maxfiles 1024 1024

Now reboot to make changes effective.

You can see the actual values of the limits running this:

$ launchctl Limit maxfiles        maxfiles    1024x768           1024

Remember to restart your process every time and any value to see mongod if it works.
