Addresses chaos-mesh/chaos-mesh#4429

Users running multiple chaos experiments or IOChaos workloads hit file descriptor limits in chaos-daemon, causing "too many open files" errors.

Changes

Added FAQ entry covering:

  • Root causes: concurrent experiments, IOChaos file descriptor usage, low ulimit defaults
  • Solutions:
    • Helm configuration for pod-level limits via chaosDaemon.podSecurityContext.sysctls
    • System-level ulimit adjustments (temporary and permanent)
    • Operational mitigations (experiment throttling, scope reduction)
    • Debugging via chaos-daemon logs

Updated across all documentation versions (current, 2.8.0, 2.7.3, 2.6.7) and locales (en, zh).

Example Helm configuration:

chaosDaemon:
  podSecurityContext:
    sysctls:
      - name: fs.file-max
        value: '65536'
