You really only need to do the bitcask dirs, not the ring; also make
sure you move aside the bitcask files created interstitially.

The {error, emfile} problem shows that you're hitting the ulimit -n
for your process. Make sure your ulimit is set appropriately. It can
also be helpful to remove any 0-length *.bitcask.data files.
