Error in Arachni::Checks::BackupFiles: Too many open files @ rb_sysopen

Hi,

I got this error message in Arachni yesterday. Not sure what it means. The command used was this one:

./arachni --scope-directory-depth-limit=2 --scope-page-limit=100 --scope-dom-depth-limit=1 --scope-auto-redundant=2 --scope-exclude-binaries --http-request-timeout=5000 --http-request-redirect-limit=1 --browser-cluster-pool-size=10 --checks=* --http-authentication-username=xxx --http-authentication-password=xxx http://www.website.com

Hello,

You'll need to increase your open file limit, the best way to go about this depends on your distro, a google search should point you to the right direction.
