Would it be reasonable to apply the settings that https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/production-setup.md suggests when we add the first LXD to a machine?
What about interrogating the kernel about available resources and refusing to add a container when it won't work? I can try adding 20 containers to a MAAS node at the moment and get no useful message and they do start to fail. Since Juju is running as root we could just do a sysctl key=value to set those live and apparently changes to /etc/security/limits.conf apply to new processes without a reboot. Preserving the sysctl over reboots isn't difficult either. -- 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
