Problem with Thread Limit on OSX

[Jacek Skrobisz]

I install JIRA server on OSX High Sierra, and got warning:

max user process limit is 1418.

Try find something in google, but no luck.

How to fix that?

I try change with ulimit -u, but that not change anything.

Help.

Turn on performance mode for macOS Server using

sudo nvram boot-args="serverperfmode=1 $(nvram boot-args 2>/dev/null | cut -f 2-)"

and reboot.

Hi Jacek,

Take a look at the blog post El Capitan ulimit shenanigans where he explains this is due to crsutil or SIP which was introduce a couple years back.  He provides a way to workaround disabling SIP:

As it turns out this one can work even without disabling csr on osx, the way to do it: Change ownership of the above files to root:wheel and it reload them with:

# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plist
# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxproc.plist

After reload it should work.

Hopefully this helps.

Cheers,
