Hi mate, thanks for your reply!
I'm using no virtualization, it's running on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS bare metal.
This is the rtorrent.rc:
Code:
# Maximum and minimum number of peers to connect to per torrent.
min_peers = 40
max_peers = 400
# Same as above but for seeding completed torrents (-1 = same as downloading)
min_peers_seed = 20
max_peers_seed = 200
# Maximum number of simultaneous uploads per torrent.
max_uploads = 0
# Max upload and download slots allowed
max_uploads_global = 288
max_downloads_global = 0
send_buffer_size = 4M
receive_buffer_size = 2M
max_memory_usage = 1536M
# Global upload and download rate. "0" for unlimited.
download_rate = 0
upload_rate = 0
# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory = /home/<user>/torrents
# Default session directory.
# Make sure you don't run multiple instance of rtorrent using the same session directory.
session = /home/<user>/.session
# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been deleted.
schedule = watch_directory,5,60,load_start=/home/<user>/watch/*.torrent
#schedule = untied_directory,5,60,stop_untied=~/watch/*.torrent
# Close torrents when diskspace is low.
schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=1000M
# Stop torrents when
# reaching upload ratio in percent,
# or reaching total upload in Mbytes,
# or reaching final upload ratio in percent.# example: stop at ratio 10.0 with at least 200M uploaded, or else ratio 20.0
ratio.enable =
ratio.min.set = 1000
ratio.max.set = 2000
ratio.upload.set = 200M
# The ip address reported to the tracker.
ip = <xxx>
# The ip address the listening socket and outgoing connections is bound to.
#bind = 127.0.0.1
# Port range to use for listening.
port_range = 62910-62910
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5001
# Start opening ports at a random position within the port range.
port_random = yes
# Check hash for finished torrents. Might be useful until the bug is
# fixed that causes lack of diskspace not to be properly reported.
check_hash = no
# Set whetever the client should try to connect to UDP trackers.
use_udp_trackers = no
# Alternative calls to bind and ip that should handle dynamic ip's.
# schedule = ip_tick,0,1800,ip=rakshasa
# schedule = bind_tick,0,1800,bind=rakshasa
# Encryption options, set to none (default) or any combination of the following:
# allow_incoming, try_outgoing, require, require_RC4, enable_retry, prefer_plaintext
#
# The example value allows incoming encrypted connections, starts unencrypted
# outgoing connections but retries with encryption if they fail, preferring
# plaintext to RC4 encryption after the encrypted handshake
#
encryption = allow_incoming,enable_retry,prefer_plaintext
# encryption = allow_incoming,try_outgoing
#
# Do not modify the following parameters unless you know what you're doing.
#
# Hash read-ahead controls how many MB to request the kernel to read
# ahead. If the value is too low the disk may not be fully utilized,
# while if too high the kernel might not be able to keep the read
# pages in memory thus end up trashing.
hash_read_ahead = 10
# Interval between attempts to check the hash, in milliseconds.
hash_interval = 10
# Number of attempts to check the hash while using the mincore status,
# before forcing. Overworked systems might need lower values to get a
# decent hash checking rate.
hash_max_tries = 5
# Max number of files to keep open simultaneously.
max_open_files = 4096
# Number of sockets to simultaneously keep open.
#max_open_sockets = <no default>
# Example of scheduling commands: Switch between two ip's every 5
# seconds.
#schedule = "ip_tick1,5,10,ip=torretta"
#schedule = "ip_tick2,10,10,ip=lampedusa"
# Remove a scheduled event.
#schedule_remove = "ip_tick1"
dht = disable
peer_exchange = no
As you can see, max_open_files is set to 4096, *max_open_sockets* is not set, using the default one.
Just had the error happen again, rtorrent show only 173 files open, was adding a massive 100GB torrent with 700 files. *lsof* shows 590 files open.
