Too Many Open Files - Error

mahkath — Fri, 15 May 2009 09:20:06 GMT

Hi All,These days we are getting "Too Many Open Files" error in the Alfresco log and after that Alfresco becomes unresponsive.We have already set file descriptor value to maximum. The only solution is to restart Alfresco in order to reset file descriptor value.We are using Alfresco 2.1 +Solaris 10 x

We're also experiencing the same error. We found some custom extensions that were not closing files (which we fixed), but we're still getting the error.

I was given a open file setting that was 'rumored' to be directly from alfresco engineering - it was 8192. We have not tried it yet - we're trying to confirm if that high of a setting is really necessary or if we should be looking elsewhere. Our OPS team is concerned that that setting is really high. We are running a custom workflow with 2.2sp2 enterprise (WCM).

Finally, we figured out that the custom JCR code has file closing issue.

We did code fix for that. Now open file descriptor is not increasing.

what you mean with custom JCR code? are you referring to some code you've developed using jcr-170?
