Note from jam after some experimentation: So having played with it for a bit, I'm more comfortable with an /etc/sysctl.d/10-juju.conf that sets max_user_watches=512k and max_user_instances=256 but if we want to get to 50 instances we need to dig harder.
I can just barely get to 10 instances of 'ubuntu' from juju, and only 19 raw containers with any of the inotify settings, and processes start dying at that point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602192 Title: when starting many LXD containers, they start failing to boot with "Too many open files" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1602192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
