Now running 7.0.34, it does not seem to leak on file descriptor so far (already 10 tasks done). A collision on disk full (well, allocated space) is probably another issue (best tracked in its own bugreport ?)
7.0.33 was fine too. My check is : $ sudo lsof -p `pidof boinc` The last file descriptor does not increase as tasks are done (it can raise a bit to send back the result, but later it returns to something always low (like 20 or 30)) As an illustration: boinc 8538 boinc 0u CHR 1,3 0t0 1029 /dev/null boinc 8538 boinc 1w REG 8,118 1967980 23 /var/lib/boinc-client/stdoutdae.txt boinc 8538 boinc 2w REG 8,118 19666 22 /var/lib/boinc-client/stderrdae.txt boinc 8538 boinc 3wW REG 8,118 0 19 /var/lib/boinc-client/lockfile boinc 8538 boinc 4w REG 8,118 176550 24 /var/lib/boinc-client/time_stats_log boinc 8538 boinc 5u CHR 195,255 0t0 38091 /dev/nvidiactl boinc 8538 boinc 6u CHR 195,0 0t0 38092 /dev/nvidia0 boinc 8538 boinc 7u CHR 195,0 0t0 38092 /dev/nvidia0 boinc 8538 boinc 8u CHR 195,0 0t0 38092 /dev/nvidia0 boinc 8538 boinc 9u IPv4 95350 0t0 TCP *:31416 (LISTEN) boinc 8538 boinc 10u IPv4 92260 0t0 TCP localhost:31416->localhost:59555 (ESTABLISHED) boinc 8538 boinc 11u CHR 195,255 0t0 38091 /dev/nvidiactl boinc 8538 boinc 12u CHR 195,0 0t0 38092 /dev/nvidia0 boinc 8538 boinc 13u CHR 195,0 0t0 38092 /dev/nvidia0 boinc 8538 boinc 14u CHR 195,0 0t0 38092 /dev/nvidia0 boinc 8538 boinc 15r REG 0,15 4224 36018 /run/utmp boinc 8538 boinc 17u IPv4 89730 0t0 TCP krynn.local:60990->pd2.cs.nctu.edu.tw:http (CLOSE_WAIT) boinc 8538 boinc 19r REG 0,3 0 4026532036 /proc/interrupts boinc 8538 boinc 20u IPv4 91746 0t0 TCP krynn.local:60993->pd2.cs.nctu.edu.tw:http (CLOSE_WAIT) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968021 Title: boinc stops on error after a few days (md5_file: Too many open files) in stderrdae.txt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/968021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
