oh!
We have 277 DLEs on this client, the file decriptor limit is 255.
I wonder if its enough to try and ammend the perl code to include
/usr/bin/ulimit or the mod needs to be higher up in the code.
ERROR: finsen: service selfcheck: selfcheck: error [open pipe to
/usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amzfs-snapshot: Too many open files]
ERROR: finsen: service /usr/local/libexec/amanda/selfcheck failed: pid 28870
exited with code 1
The same code that created the snapshot destroys it, right ?
Jon had a good idea in using tcp_wrappers to up the limit but
I haven't had any luck implementing it. Has anyone used home grown
tcp_wrappers on Solaris 10 ?
thanks,
Brian
