Latest data... On my mac, when I open a terminal window, the default for ulimit is 256. I wrote a little loop to monitor files...
while true do lsof -c Second | wc -l done it appears that when Viewer2 (regular of dev) is started, this number goes to about 63 or so. Not always the same. Viewer 2 Release: When I login, or TP to a new region, this number jumpt to about 76. I assume extra file handles used for HTTP sockets to fetch textures. Viewer 2 Dev: Login or TP to region (needing new textures?) and the file count jumps to 300, and the error message dnssd_clientstub deliver_request: socketpair failed 24 (Too many open files) starts flooding my syslog.log file at more than 500 per second. Hypotheses: somebody upped some limit or constant and assumed Mac OSX was a lot higher than 300. PART 2: I started the client from a window in which I used ulimit -n 512. Behavior of Viewer2 Dev is the same. The file count jumps to 300, but the viewer freezes. I guess that the ulimit is set somewhere from within the viewer, so that the shell's ulimit is ignored. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
