Use CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR to tell calibre to use a directory on a disk that has enough space for copies of all the files you are adding. Or add in batches.

And note that file descriptors do not fill up a disk, files do. A file descriptor is simply a small structure, typically a few bytes in size stored inthe kernel.
