[Swift-user] Swift running errors

[lixi at uchicago.edu]

Hi,

I have two problems. 

1. Today, when I try to run swift workflow on muliple OSG 
sites, I always encounter the following errors which cause 
the running failed:
[lixi at login remote]$ swift -
tc.file /home/lixi/swift/test/tc.data -
sites.file /home/lixi/swift/test/OSGEDU_Sites.xml 
workflowtest.swift 
Swift v0.3-dev r1674 (modified locally)

2. When runing a workflow which involves 1000nodes, I 
encounter the following errors very frequently, but not all 
the time:
...
node completed
node completed
node completed
node completed
node completed
node failed
Execution failed:
        Exception in node:

64kddnoi
stderr.txt: 

stdout.txt: 

----

Caused by:
        java.io.IOException: Too many open files

Could you tell me why and teach me how to resolve such 
problems? 

Thanks,
