Erlang "system_limit" trouble!

[zabrane Mikael]

Hi guys,

One of my modules ("report.erl") generates a lot  (~100K) of daily reports
on disk.
I'm facing an issue with the following code:

create_disk_report(Path, Bin) ->
  ok = file:write_file(Path, Bin).

...
{"init terminating in
do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,system_limit}},[{report,create_disk_report,2}
...}}

"file:write_file" doesn't seem to return "ok" in my case (it returns {error,
system_limit)}.

I even tried:
ok = file:write_file(Path, Bin, [write, raw, binary]).

But it fails too, and the same error persist.
What am i doing wrong guys?
