I've been using mongo on my mac os x 10.8 and suddenly yesterday at my logs appeared this warning (and when starting shell it's present too) -

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

Who could explain, what does it mean? And should I increase number of rlimits somehow?

on mac, you probably using mongodb for development purpose. If yes, then you can ignore this.
