Hello All, I am trying to understand the following output from "lsof". All/most of our compute nodes (pvfs2 clients) have the following output as reported by "lsof" Few of the pvfs2-client nodes have greater than 1024 open sockets for just the pvfs2-client process. Current ulimit for maximum number of open files per process is set to 1024 on all of our computer nodes. I see this as a potential performance problem. I was wondering if any of you can help me interpret the output and fix any issues that this could be causing. <lsof output> ............... pvfs2-cli 27278 root 121u sock 0,5 13574284 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 122u sock 0,5 13574285 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 123u sock 0,5 13574286 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 124u sock 0,5 13574287 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 125u sock 0,5 13574288 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 126u sock 0,5 13574289 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 127u sock 0,5 13574290 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 128u sock 0,5 13574291 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 129u sock 0,5 13574292 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 130u sock 0,5 13574303 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 131u sock 0,5 13574304 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 132u sock 0,5 13574326 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 133u sock 0,5 13574327 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 134u sock 0,5 13574328 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 135u sock 0,5 13574329 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 136u sock 0,5 13574330 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 137u sock 0,5 13574331 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 138u sock 0,5 13574332 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 139u sock 0,5 13574333 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 140u sock 0,5 13574334 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 141u sock 0,5 13574336 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 142u sock 0,5 13574337 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 143u sock 0,5 13574338 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 144u sock 0,5 13574344 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 145u sock 0,5 13574345 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 146u sock 0,5 13574346 can't identify protocol pvfs2-cli 27278 root 147u sock 0,5 13574357 can't identify protocol ............
