Reporter: Gustavo Chaves
Let me start by saying that I looked at MRM-1097 but it seems to be a different
problem because there they say that the accumulating file descriptors were
sockets and here they are index files.
Being more specific, our Archiva is accumulating several open file descriptors
to already deleted files. In less than one hour it can accumulate as much as
1000 such file descriptors, quickly reaching the process file descriptor limit
which we already increaded from 4K to 12K in an attempt to delay the problem.
This are the kind of descriptors I'm talking about:
