@ -16,6 +16,9 @@ For the `.zip` and `.tar.gz` packages, set <<ulimit,`ulimit -n 65536`>> as
root before starting Elasticsearch, or set `nofile` to `65536` in
<<limits.conf,`/etc/security/limits.conf`>>.
On macOS, you must also pass the JVM option `-XX:-MaxFDLimit`
to Elasticsearch in order for it to make use of the higher file descriptor limit.
RPM and Debian packages already default the maximum number of file
descriptors to 65536 and do not require further configuration.
