To change maximum open file limits for your terminal session, run this command:
# ulimit -n 3000
After closing the terminal and creating a new session, the limits will get back to the original values specified in /etc/security/limits.conf.

To change the general value for the system <code>/proc/sys/fs/file-max</code>, change the <code>fs.file-max</code> value in /<code>etc/sysctl.conf</code>:
fs.file-max = 100000
And apply it:
# sysctl -p
