Subject: File resource leak in 2.2.19?
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 17:09:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011105220945Z281381-17409+8838@vger.kernel.org> (raw)

I came to my work cluster only to find node4 dead. On the console, 

"VFS: file-max limit 4096 reached"

Trying to login gave an error message about loading the shared libraries 
required (since it couldn't get a file descriptor to load it, I guess)

The exact situation is an NFS share, hosted on a computer called 'node4'; 
files are accessed a couple of thousand times daily, read/write from a single 
other machine thru user-space NFS daemon from Progeny 1.0, which then relays 
X and/or VNC to a given Windows workstation. That's about the only access 
pattern to the files.

It's possible that the said files will open from the node itself (Without 
going thru NFS, but thru a strategically placed symlink), but I sincerely 
doubt it happened.

Is there any known resource leak in 2.2.19 and up ('only' patched with MOSIX 
0.98.0) that will exaust the available 'open file' resources?

Yours Truly,
