Hi all, I ran a loop of [1] (from [2]). The loop succeeded for ~ 380 iterations, then failed with 'Too many open files'. First failure was: 2021-02-08 02:21:15,702+0100 ERROR (jsonrpc/4) [storage.HSM] Could not connect to storageServer (hsm:2446) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/hsm.py", line 2443, in connectStorageServer conObj.connect() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/storageServer.py", line 449, in connect return self._mountCon.connect() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/storageServer.py", line 171, in connect self._mount.mount(self.options, self._vfsType, cgroup=self.CGROUP) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/mount.py", line 210, in mount cgroup=cgroup) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/common/supervdsm.py", line 56, in __call__ return callMethod() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/common/supervdsm.py", line 54, in <lambda> **kwargs) File "<string>", line 2, in mount File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/multiprocessing/managers.py", line 772, in _callmethod raise convert_to_error(kind, result) OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files But obviously, once it did, it continued failing for this reason on many later operations. Is this considered a bug? Do we actively try to prevent such cases? So should I open one and attach logs? Or it can be considered a "corner case"? Using vdsm-4.40.50.3-37.git7883b3b43.el8.x86_64 from ost-images-el8-he-installed-1-202102021144.x86_64 . I can also let access to the machine(s) if needed, for now.
