Running a command: SVKRESOLVE=t svk smerge -m 'Wikia code over MW 1.12.0' -B //mirror/wikia/branches/mw-1.13-upgrade //local/mw-1.13-upgrade fails with a following error: Too many open files: Nie można otworzyć pliku '/tmp/svk-new-tN6zp.tmp': Too many open files Note that 'Nie można otworzyć pliku' means 'Cannot open a file' in English. I've already increased file-max kernel variable but it didn't help: emil@dev01:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 500000 strace log can be downloaded from http://ws1.poz.wikia-inc.com/~emil/svk.trace.gz (7.6M) My system is: emil@dev01:~$ lsb_release -d Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 emil@dev01:~$ uname -a Linux dev01 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux emil@dev01:~$ svk --version This is svk, version v2.0.1 (using Subversion bindings 1.4.6) emil@dev01:~$ perl --version This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi Regards, Emil

Solved. It appeared to be an Ubuntu setup issue. Although /proc/sys/fs/file-max was set very high 'ulimit -n' showed only 1024. After increasing it to a higher value via /etc/security/limits.conf SVK smerge command passed smoothly. The ticket can be closed.
