Hi all,

I’ve set up a jail on 13.1 running debian stretch, and now a triplestore needing many openfiles for a data import.

Since on Linux the soft limit is pretty hard :) I need to set the soft limit.

I’ve edited /etc/security/limits.conf to set soft and hard limit to 20000 (just to check), but after login the soft limit stays at 1024.

Using prlimit I can change the limits of a running process, but that is not passed on to subprocesses, which the app creates constantly for import, there, the soft limit returns to 1024 :(

Running prlimit --nofile 20000 or prlimit --nofile 20000:20000 does not work, either, the soft limit stays at 1024, and the import fails.

Does anyone know a way to change the soft limit permenantly?


Thanks, Mathias
