This signals that a thread can't be created, cause there's too many open files.

Re: kern.ipc.maxpipekva exceeded, error
Hi Puna, This looks like there occured a looping recursion, there is definately something wrong with your ports. Maybe try to reinstall the dependencies forcefully after bringing your ports tree up-to-date (if that alone does not already help) Kind regards, Alex. Puna Tannehill wrote: On a freshly rebuild v5.3-BETA4... A failed compile of sysutils/fastest_cvsup led me to run 'make clean' before trying again. It took over 5 minutes to run make clean, and at the very end I got the following: # make clean kern.ipc.maxpipekva exceeded; see tuning(7) Pipe call failed: Too many open files in system Pipe call failed: Too many open files in system ===> Cleaning for libtool-1.5.8 ===> Cleaning for perl-5.8.5 ===> Cleaning for fastest_cvsup-0.2.8 There is nothing specifically in tuning about this particular knob, but from poking around I get the feeling that it's about memory management of the kernel IPC subsystem. Running 'sysctl kern.ipc.maxpipekva' shows: kern.ipc.maxpipekva=1257472 Hunting around on in the archives, I came up with people getting this error while doing very intensive compiles. Seems strange to me that I might get such an error on a 15min uptime, cold-booted machine and just doing a 'make clean'. And thoughts?
