When doing spacewalk-repo-sync (v 1.4 postgres on RHEL6) on a large repo
(fedora14 updates is rather large) the process chokes and gives the
following error through the remaining files in the repo:

8657/8666 : rakarrack-0.6.1-4.git47245c3.fc14-0.x86_64
[Errno 24] Too many open files:
'/var/satellite/redhat/1/b04/rakarrack/0.6.1-4.git47245c3.fc14/x86_64/b04953e43be49b96a7d74e2abde115f4265a79b5ac61656db3ce2e1ef8bbb981/rakarrack-0.6.1-4.git47245c3.fc14.x86_64.rpm'

Swap out the packaged name some 7000+ times :-)

Seems to occur around 1012 insertions regularly.

If I rerun it, it gets another 1000 or so and dies the same way.

I have system max files open set HUGE with no change. from sysctl:
fs.file-max = 25913000

Is there someplace else I need to look to set spacewalk max files?
