You're not allowed to raise the ulimit boundaries above the configured hard limit, that's why your attemts with the ulimit command fails. I haven't worked with Centos, but in my debian systems I adjust the max number of open files by adding the following line to the file /etc/security/limits.conf: * - nofile 16384 The asterisk means allow any user the max number of open files, so if you want, you can be more specific here. Also see 'man limits.conf'. -- Fredrik Jonson
