I don't know if the message "Bad file descriptor" is caused by your cache of file descriptors containing some file descriptor which is no longer available (it was closed by a subsequent event), but the cache has not been refreshed to this effect. TBH this is well above my V limited understanding of kernel and memory processing. It may have something to do with bad memory, bad programming of some application which is using the epoll API (most likely), or buggy kernel. > > > I didn't have the patience to search backwards to find the last entry > > before > > > those, so I can't be certain what process was spamming me; I just have > > > to assume it was sddm, since that's whose directory the log was in. > > Update: I had another Konsole open yesterday, from which I'd last issued an > akonadictl restart command.

You may want to close your kmail and run akonadictl in this fashion: pkill kmail akonadictl stop akonadictl start akonadictl fsck akonadictl vacuum waiting between each step until the messages printed on the terminal stop. Finally restart kmail and hopefully your kmail/akonadi will behave normally again. -- Regards, Mick
