> I think "emfile" means that CouchDB (or mochiweb?) couldn't open any
> more files / connections. I've set the (hard and soft) nofile limit for
> user couchdb to 4096, but didn't raise the ERL_MAX_PORTS accordingly.
> Anyway, as soon as the error occured, CouchDB started writing most of my
> view files from scratch, rendering the instance unusable.
> I'd expect CouchDB to fail more gracefully when the maximum number of
> open files is reached. Is this a bug or expected behaviour?
