Won't lsof report duped handles multiple times?
sudo cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
Three numbers: total allocated open files, free open-files, maximum open-files.
When you get the error, type 'dmesg' and look for:
VFS: file-max limit 4096 reached
(The number may differ)
If that is the error, you can change the max:
(AS_ROOT) echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
This:
grow_inodes: inode-max limit reached
Calls for:
echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
(Change the exact numbers as needed, both examples are 4x the default)
