“WARNING: soft rlimits too low” in MongoDB with Mac OS X

If you get this warning when you connect to mongo shell in Mac OX X:

** WARNING: soft rlimits too low. Number of files is 256, should be at least 1000

You can increase that limit by just running this on the Mac OS X shell:

launchctl limit maxfiles 1024 1024

This other command has the same effect but it will only last until the next system reboot:

ulimit -n 1024

Restart mongod and it shouldn’t complain any more.
