Still getting "too many open files"

We have still having problems with Ferret dying on us regularly with the
error message:

ferret server error IO Error occured at <except.c>:93 in xraiseError
occured in fs_store.c:127 - fs_each
doing ‘each’ in
/var/www/web1/oms/current/script/…/config/…/index/production/band/20070805130005:

<<

We are running Ferret as a DrbServer and using ferret 0.11.3.

I’ve read about using ulimit to up the file number - but doesn’t that
just affect the current shell - i.e. where do I need to put this when
running my mongrels etc?

Thanks for any other tips - this is currently a bit frustrating.

No, Debian Etch. Any differences?

Thanks

no, looks like this should work on debian in the same way.
