Howdy, As some know, I discovered torrentting a while back. It has caused issues ever since. LOL I recently upgraded qbittorrent. Other than having to limit some speed settings since it would make my desktop response slow, it has worked OK, better than ktorrent at least. Then a couple days ago, perhaps related to a upgrade, it would crash. In the notifications I would find a error like below. I have changed the names to protect the innocent. ;-)
An I/O error occurred for torrent 'ABCDEF'. Reason: ABCDEF file_open (/home/dale/Desktop/Videos/ABCDEF error: Too many open files I did a google search and found out more info which lead me to this eventually: https://www.tecmint.com/increase-set-open-file-limits-in-linux/ Then this: root@fireball / # sysctl fs.file-max fs.file-max = 3289952 root@fireball / # sysctl -w fs.file-max=32899520 fs.file-max = 32899520 root@fireball / # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 32899520 So, I increased the limit on open files by a factor of ten, I added a zero on the end. It was easy enough and didn't require a calculator or other fancy maths. Question is, is this a better fix or could it just be qbittorrent itself having issues? Could there be more to this or something else causing this error? I was using qbittorrent-4.4.5 but downgraded to qbittorrent-4.4.4. I'm hoping one or the other will fix this crashing issue. It did only start after the upgrade but could be a coincidence to I guess. By the way, the 10TB drive I bought a couple weeks or so ago, well, this is it now. /dev/mapper/10tb 9.1T 8.7T 345G 97% /mnt/10tb The 14TB is supposed to be here this weekend. I have really got to create a solution to this. My current plan, make the 14TB my backup drive. Put the 10TB in my rig, for now. It's getting full too. ROFL I could cut off the internet I guess. ROFLMBO Thoughts on the files open error? Qbittorrent crashing? Anyone else ran into this before? Proper solution? Better solution? Dale :-) :-)
