Hi, While reviewing filesystem usage we noticed lots of deleted files still open by Apache, as reported by lsof. Some example lines are below.
Can anyone advise why Apache is keeping these files open, and if there's anything we can do about it? I have verified that the process numbers listed are still existing processes. The server is running Apache 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 server, 64bit. Thank you in advance. /usr/sbin 13262 root 23w REG 0,19 0 110619773 /run/lock/apache2/rewrite-map.13262 (deleted) /usr/sbin 13262 root 24w REG 0,19 0 105844737 /run/lock/apache2/ssl-cache.13261 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 apacheuser 23w REG 0,19 0 110619773 /run/lock/apache2/rewrite-map.13262 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 apacheuser 24w REG 0,19 0 105844737 /run/lock/apache2/ssl-cache.13261 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 22671 apacheuser 23w REG 0,19 0 110619773 /run/lock/apache2/rewrite-map.13262 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 22671 apacheuser 24w REG 0,19 0 105844737 /run/lock/apache2/ssl-cache.13261 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 22672 apacheuser 23w REG 0,19 0 110619773 /run/lock/apache2/rewrite-map.13262 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 22672 apacheuser 24w REG 0,19 0 105844737 /run/lock/apache2/ssl-cache.13261 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 22673 apacheuser 23w REG 0,19 0 110619773 /run/lock/apache2/rewrite-map.13262 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 22673 apacheuser 24w REG 0,19 0 105844737 /run/lock/apache2/ssl-cache.13261 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 22674 apacheuser 23w REG 0,19 0 110619773 /run/lock/apache2/rewrite-map.13262 (deleted) /usr/sbin 22669 22674 apacheuser 24w REG 0,19 0 105844737 /run/lock/apache2/ssl-cache.13261 (deleted) -- David Cunningham, Voisonics http://voisonics.com/ USA: +1 213 221 1092 UK: +44 (0) 20 3298 1642 Australia: +61 (0) 2 8063 9019
