Hi sun-managers,
Original Post (last week) :
---------------------------------
Platform : SPARCserver 1000, Solaris 2.5, NIS+
I have a problem with mountd deamon and/or NFS... After several
days since a reboot (maybe 1 month), I have this message in /var/adm/message
file :
mountd[350]: do_accept : too many open files
mountd[350]: lock_shared: remap failed
What are these "do_accept" and "lock_shared" programs?
After that, the server refuses to all stations to automount or share files.
It seems like that there's a kind of overflow of automount or share files!
Then, the command "dfmounts" doesn't work.... It answers :
... RPC ... not registered
---------------------------------
I received 2 answers:
1) First, "Mark Neill" <Mark.Neill@fanb.com> said
do_accept is most likely a socket call....a listener trying to accept and
fork. I suspect you are running into the max of 1024 file descriptors
(files, sockets, etc) open, and this attempt to connect is failing because
of it.
I don't know for sure where the tuning parameter for max file sis, but you
can raise it if you are having this problem repeatedly; ideally, if it takes
a month to happen, look for ghosted/zombied processes that may have sockets
open (TIME_WAIT, LISTEN, or ESTABLISHED in a netstat) and kill them, they
probably aren't serving any purpose but to hold sockets open.
2) Second, "Karl Vogel" <vogelke@c17mis.region2.wpafb.af.mil> said
We had the same problem. We fixed it by putting the lines below in
/etc/system. We kept incrementing the file descriptor count by 128
until the problem went away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Change the hard/soft limits on file descriptors to (hopefully)
* fix some NFS mountd problems.
* set hard limit on file descriptors (originally 256)
set rlim_fd_max = 768
* set soft limit on file descriptors (originally 64)
set rlim_fd_cur = 512
I tried the solution of Karl... I will see in 2 or 3 weeks if it's OK ;-)
Thank you.
Ciao!
