That's not how ulimit works.  Check the `ulimit -a` output.

Hi,

I am running all commands as root, so there are no limits for the processes.

Regards,

do cat /proc/<pid>/limits

probably you hit max processes limit or max FD limit

Hi Ceph-Users,

I have absolutely no idea what is going on on my systems...

Hardware:
45 x 4TB Harddisks
2 x 6 Core CPUs
256GB Memory

When initializing all disks and join them to the cluster, after
approximately 30 OSDs, other osds are crashing. When I try to start them
again I see different kinds of errors. For example:


Starting Ceph osd.316 on ceph-osd-bs04...already running
=== osd.317 ===

But anyways, when I look at the memory consumption of the system:
# free -m
              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        258450      25841     232609          0         18      15506

Swap:         3811          0       3811


There are more then 230GB of memory available! What is going on there?
System:
Linux ceph-osd-bs04 3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.12-1~bpo70+1
(2014-07-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Since this is happening on other Hardware as well, I don't think it's
Hardware related. I have no Idea if this is an OS issue (which would be
seriously strange) or a ceph issue.

Since this is happening only AFTER we upgraded to firefly, I guess it
has something to do with ceph.

ANY idea on what is going on here would be very appreciated!

Regards,
Christian
