https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=378107 Summary: famd[5035]: failed to accept new client: Too many open files Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas@telefonica.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I'm logged in using gnome. From an xterm I "su -" to another user, then run "konqueror", which fails to start. Try several times. Then I go ctrl-alt-f5, log in as that user, and run a second X session by using "startx kde -- :1", which starts but doesn't complete. Then I notice these errors in the warn log: Apr 8 19:10:50 nimrodel famd[5035]: localclient socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0): Too many open files Apr 8 19:11:16 nimrodel famd[5035]: failed to accept new client: Too many open files Apr 8 19:11:18 nimrodel syslog-ng[3809]: last message repeated 8490 times Apr 8 19:11:18 nimrodel famd[5035]: failed to accept new client: Too many open files Apr 8 19:11:39 nimrodel syslog-ng[3809]: last message repeated 174352 times Apr 8 19:11:39 nimrodel famd[5035]: localclient socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0): Too many open files Apr 8 19:11:39 nimrodel famd[5035]: localclient socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0): Too many open files Apr 8 19:12:44 nimrodel famd[5035]: localclient socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0): Too many open files Apr 8 19:17:10 nimrodel famd[5035]: failed to accept new client: Too many open files Apr 8 19:17:18 nimrodel syslog-ng[3809]: last message repeated 50566 times Apr 8 19:17:18 nimrodel famd[5035]: failed to accept new client: Too many open files Apr 8 19:18:18 nimrodel syslog-ng[3809]: last message repeated 298895 times Apr 8 19:18:18 nimrodel famd[5035]: failed to accept new client: Too many open files Apr 8 19:19:18 nimrodel syslog-ng[3809]: last message repeated 34593 times Thus I restart famd, and everything returns to normal. I have no more info. The incident will be difficult to reproduce, but it is not the first time I see famd hanging and requiring a restart. The machine has been up several days, and I hybernate it twice a day, at least. Perhaps a counter wrapped around. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
