-===== Troubleshooting =====

-==== Database Crash ==== 
- 
-If you database is becoming quite large (thousands of files in the dbpath), it's possible that your OS is going to refuse opening that much files simultaneously. 
- 
-In Linux, you can change the number of allowed files by editing the file ''/etc/security/limits.conf'' and adding the following lines : 
- 
-<code> 
-tokumx soft nofile 1000000 
-tokumx hard nofile 1000000 
-</code>
