Hi there,
i'm trying to send/receive a snapshot of my home dir for some time now,
but in the end it always fails because the maximum number of open fd's
is exceeded.
Kern log says:
"6,7226,15012711248,-;VFS: file-max limit 799969 reached"
My setup is as follows:
Kernel: 3.9-rc5
btrfs-progs: compiled from git commit: commit
7854c8b667654502f69e05584729146a06827bc6
btrfs fi show:
Label: none uuid: ccedbef9-417b-454c-b1d4-8b4220111e6a
Total devices 1 FS bytes used 177.79GB
devid 1 size 210.85GB used 210.85GB path /dev/dm-0
Label: 'BACKUP' uuid: 019e75e4-aa2e-495d-9711-28ef7150b1f3
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 137.35GB
devid 2 size 298.09GB used 142.01GB path /dev/sdc1
devid 1 size 298.09GB used 142.03GB path /dev/sdb1
The send fs is on a dm-crypt device and the receive on a btrfs raid1
A scrub for both fs ran fine without errors.I can however send/receive
my root fs which is much smaller (~17GB).
The error occurs also if i just use "btrfs send" and pipe the output to
a file.
It takes a very long time before my system crashes (several hours) so i
wasn't able to monitor when exactly the fd's increase.
In the beginning "btrfs send" just opens less than 10 fd's, but at some
point "btrfs send" must open much more.
If further information is needed, i'd be happy to help. I'm also in
#btrfs on freenode.
Regards,
Robert
