[Dspace-general] too many open files

[Mark Diggory]

Sorry, that was an erronious statement I just made:

Filter-Media does actually call the same code that index-all is  
calling, but you can turn this off at the command line by adding the  
option "-n".

Note, if you are running index-all and filter-media consecutively  
every night, you want to either just run filter-media or run filter- 
media -n and then run index-all.

Either way, it is a reindexing of the Lucene indexes that could help  
yu with this issue.
