RE: gnatsd Too many open files error

[Jim Searle]

I CC'ed hep-gnats since I've received no response from bug-gnats...

 

It seems that gnatsd never closes the PR.lock file, an strace of the REPL command shows this:

open("/tools/gnats/4.0/etc/gnats/db-vlsibcmx/gnats-adm/gnats.lock", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_EXCL, 0) = 5
open("/tools/gnats/4.0/etc/gnats/db-vlsibcmx/gnats-adm/index", O_RDONLY) = 6
close(6)                                = 0
open("/tools/gnats/4.0/etc/gnats/db-vlsibcmx/gnats-adm/locks/3515.lock", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_EXCL, 0644) = 6
close(6)                                = 0
open("/tools/gnats/4.0/etc/gnats/db-vlsibcmx/test/3515", O_RDONLY) = 6
close(6)                                = 0
open("/tools/gnats/4.0/etc/gnats/db-vlsibcmx/test/3515", O_RDONLY) = 6

Subject: gnatsd Too many open files error

If during a single gnatsd session I modify a field for a bunch of PR's, on change number 252 I get this error:

 

640 Cannot create lock file /tools/gnats/4.0/etc/gnats/db-vlsibcmx/gnats-adm/locks/1579.lock: Too many open files

 

My simple command file is:

CHDB someDB someUser thePassword
REPL 1579 Priority
low
.

with the last 3 lines repeated 252 times.
