Bug#434735: offlineimap: Crash with IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files
Package: offlineimap Version: 5.99.1 Severity: important Hi John, today offlineimap stopped working on my rather large IMAP account, crashing with the following backtrace: Thread 'Copy message 1138 from hypernews/hn-atlas-releaseKitProblem' terminated with exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/offlineimap/threadutil.py, line 153, in run File threading.py, line 422, in run File /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/offlineimap/folder/Base.py, line 282, in copymessageto File /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/offlineimap/folder/Maildir.py, line 169, in savemessage IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/home/jschumac/OfflineIMAP/hypernews.hn-atlas-releaseKitProblem/tmp/1185443341_6.13927.silab31' I am not sure if this is related to a recent upgrade, I use offlineimap only occasionally. All in all I have some 10-20k emails in about 100 folders. Rerunning offlineimap does not help, it crashes at the exact same email. Severity important is correct, I hope, since it stopped working here completely but might work for others with less volume. Thanks for packaging offlineimap!

Hi John, On Thursday 26 July 2007, John Goerzen wrote: Can you check a few things for me: 1) Run offlineimap -1. Right before it crasshes, ls -l /proc/pid/fd where pid is OfflineIMAP's pid. Let's see what files it has open. offlineimap does not crash any more, so I could only check on a successful run. I attached the largest set of fd's I obtained. 2) Verify via lsof or some other tool that your system isn't out of file descriptors globally. A reboot could fix that as well. How can I do that with lsof? It does not complain when just listing without options. The machine has not been rebooted in the meantime. This problem could occur either from a problem with OfflineIMAP or a more general global problem. (Un)fortunately I can not reproduce the error anymore, so sorry for the noise.
