"Too many open files" and cannot access running server.

[TomLewis]

I run mark2 start on a sever that had a plugin doing a large conversion, so the startup window was still open in my terminal, then about an hour or two later I look back and its errored out with this and I can no longer attach to the server to see how the conversions going on, it still appears in mark2 list and it appears at the top menu bar, but when I go to attach it shows the server before it.

Edit: I cannot kill the server... Edit Edit: Had to kill it via system.

You should check how many open files you are allowed in your operating system by using: ulimit -n and you can up the limit using ulimit -n 2048. In my case, Ubuntu 18 reported a max number of open files as 1024 which I haven't a clue how you'd hit that number. The limit is apparently user-based too so if you have a lot of stuff running under one user, you should probably divvy it up (E.G. Web server, discord bots and other junk under different users)

This isn't a bug with mark2, but something inherent in your setup causing you to hit the max open files (or more than likely whatever that plugin was doing had a lot of files open). Unless you can somehow point to something in mark2 opening thousands of files that is 😉. Since there is nothing for me to fix, I'll have to close this for now (again, unless you can find something specific to mark2 causing it)
