Sorry I wasn't more clear. Definitely more than one. Overall, right now, lsof|grep evolution|wc 7385 Some of the open files are what I expect: evolution 30842 pasacki mem REG 8,2 14824 1368843 /usr/lib/bonob o/monikers/libmoniker_std_2.so and there's plenty (1531) of those. There are also lots (122) of open files that are: evolution 30842 pasacki 16r FIFO 0,5 15219446 pipe evolution 30842 pasacki 17w FIFO 0,5 15219446 pipe evolution 30842 pasacki 18r FIFO 0,5 15219447 pipe . . . But most strange are *man*y (5600) of these: evolution 30842 pasacki 35u sock 0,0 17110030 can't identify protocol and, lastly, about 179 of the mbox.ibex.index.data files open on my nfsserver. > > > > > At one point I heard folklore that Solaris NFS servers and Linux NFS > > clients [Solaris 8; Linux = RH7.3] do not always reliably interact. > > > > Might that have something to do with the problem? > > I have no idea as I have heard no such rumour nor have I any idea was to > what that could be in reference to. I was afraid that evolution might be locking and unlocking files for mail that were not getting closed properly due to some hanging NFS connection. I'm speculating about subjects which I don't know, so I'm probably way off base here. > > > > > > > > > > > On Wed, 2003-10-01 at 12:03, Phil Sackinger wrote: > > > > I've noticed Evo 1.4.4 dying after, oh, about a week or so because of > > > > "too many open files". > > > > > > > > An "lsof | grep evolution | wc" gives me 6748 lines. > > > > > > > > Lots of entries say "can't identify protocol". > > > > > > > > Is this: > > > > an evo problem, > > > > me with too many folders, or > > > > a system limitation that I should fix (ulimit -n)? > > > > > > > > On an unrelated matter, I'd like to get emacs style keybindings that I > > > > enjoyed under Evo 1.2 and can't find in 1.4. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
