You'll probably want to do something like this:
echo '16384' > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo '65536' > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
The documentation in the kernel sources mentions that inode-max should
be something like two or three times the file-max. Also, depending on
your local configuration, you may need to use ulimit to raise the file
limits for that individual user.
It's so much easier than years ago, when you had to recompile the kernel
to raise those limits. ; )
