## Issues when using numerous Builders/Provisioners/Post-Processors
|
||||
|
||||
Packer uses a separate process for each builder, provisioner, post-processor,
|
||||
and plugin. In certain cases, if you have too many of these, you can run out of
|
||||
[file descriptors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor). This results
|
||||
in an error that might look like
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
error initializing provisioner 'powershell': fork/exec /files/go/bin/packer:
|
||||
too many open files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
On Unix systems, you can check what your file descriptor limit is with `ulimit
|
||||
-Sn`. You should check with your OS vendor on how to raise this limit.
