I tried to rm -rf chain-configuration too and I already did clone the repository… ---

This is likely due to the fact that another process is open. Try finding any potential running processes (old node processes) and killing them along with resetting the files/directories with `rm -rf` ---

Can you provide the results of `fuelup show` @Seansky so we can better diagnose the problem. What commands are you using to run the node, can you include those here. Also can you show the results of running: `top` for a second, I’d like to see what processes are running (please give it a second to load up before screen shoting it). ---

Do you use any other parameters for `fuel-core run`? You will need to specify more things in order to run the node successfully. ---

I fill up the whole code, I just didnt send it all since it has the private key and other important information. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/fuel/original/2X/3/3fcc86d3f8b8d780f6d533f299935372d8c9572b.png) ---

Hi @Seansky , This is likely due to a low `ulimit` file limit on your system, I’d recommend trying to increase that first, then tell us how it goes. **Expanding ulimit:** > We are adding this to our node running checks, so that in the future, the user will be warned about this in the future. ---

What a great solution!! Thanks I use this code just in case something will need this in the future “ulimit -S -n 4096” and then re run the fuel-core run\ ---
