This fixes commit 38abf9c34dc481b0dc923bdab446ee623bdc5ab6 Author: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jun 21 13:22:40 2023 +0100 src: set max open file limit to match systemd >= 240 defaults The bug referenced in that commit had suggested to set LimitNOFile=512000:1024 on the basis that matches current systemd default behaviour and is compatible with old systemd. That was good except * The setting is LimitNOFILE and these are case sensitive * The hard and soft limits were inverted - soft must come first and so it would have been ignored even if the setting name was correct. * The default hard limit is 524288 not 512000 Reported-by: Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> Reviewed-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
