Chris Stockton reopened COUCHDB-839:
------------------------------------


Hello,

I believe you would be very correct that those two specific flags may be passed through exports. Certain other arguments may also be influenced by switches. (+Bd I.E.). However, it should be understood before closing this that the emulator supports many other flags some of which for certain systems and setups may require flags outside the afore-mentioned. Such as +P, or for some setups defining the CPU topology may be desired. I am unaware of how to get these results without this (or similar) modification or scrapping the couchdb script all together.

> It seems that the couchdb script does not support any options to pass to the erlang vm. Would be nice to allow a options flag and document on the wiki that it exists. It is important because large-scale deployments of couchdb need to pass some limits on to erlang. For example, I am using a -O option of: -O "+P 65536 -env ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES 60000 -env ERL_MAX_PORTS 60000"
