Hey Folks, we are continuing to get deadlocks about once a day and I&#39;ve noticed this in the logfile:<br><br>2009-11-28 14:31:05 ERR reporting_primary[31485]: !SABAOTHgetMyStatus: IOException:sabaoth.getStatus:Unable to open directory /opt/MonetDB5/dbfarm: Too many open files<br>

<br>Not sure how many open files it had when it went south, but immediately after a restart I saw this in files-nr:<br><br><font size="2"># cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr<br>
1408    0       3164775<br><br>That third number being the &#39;files-max&#39; on the system currently... I think that must be being dynamically set.<br><br>This is with the latest release August2009-SP2, the net effect is a deadlock on all connections to merovingian and a segfault of the mserver process.<br>

<br>Neils, this is what led up to that &#39;log&#39; file being truncated in sql_logs a few days ago... this message occurred just before this happened.    I&#39;ve restarted my database and should see the problem reproduce itself again within 24 hours.   I am recording the number of file descriptors in use every minute by mserver, merovingian, and overall for the system so I can know what the numbers were leading up to it.<br>

<br>Is this a file descriptor leak in Monet or is my files-max set too low (even though it appears to be dynamic)?<br></font><br clear="all">73,<br>Matthew W. Jones (KI4ZIB)<br><a href="http://matburt.net">http://matburt.net</a><br>
