| Description |
|
Having an insufficient soft limit on max processes can cause 'can't create new thread, closing connection' warnings/errors if the number of connections grows too high. Clarifying the difference, as it applies to MongoDB, could be helpful if the user feels the hard limit is more than sufficient. |

It might be worth mentioning in the documentation that RHEL sometimes defaults the max processes soft ulimit setting to 1024. See http://scott.cm/max-processes-1024-limits-conf/. This is a really common cause. |
