Issue mariadb too many open files

Just a heads up:

On your system, eventually the open files limit of mariaDB may not suffice, and most attempts at fixing it will not work, as there is a file
/etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/override.conf
that sets this limit to 8k..

Most sources on the internet says that you should create a new file called limits.conf in that directory with
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=100000

in it.. well, as long as the override.conf is also not updated, the limit will stay the same. ensure to either delete or update this override.conf file as well.
