Too many open files V. 1.0.1

Support

Hi, I read this thread, I waited some months till new version was released in the libreelec OS for the raspberry, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

My folders don’t synchronize, and I get this message:

    2019-03-03 09:02:15: Syncthing should not run as a privileged or system user. Please consider using a normal user account.

What does ulimit -n say when run from a shell?

It says: 1024

I am testing with just a folder with a few ringtones. Some months ago it worked like a charm with big folders.

Yeah that should probably be enough. I don’t know what you’re running into.

The limits reported by ulimit might not apply here if syncthing is started by systemd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Limits.conf

@calmh it might be worth to examine /proc/<pid>/limits on Unix platforms and add it to the log as this seems to be a frequent issue.

No need for proc interaction, we already attempt to raise the soft limit to the hard limit and know the result of the operation (that function returns the new limit). We don’t specifically log anything about it, although we could do so and flag a warning if it’s scary low.

I think we should log it as the issue seems to arise every now and then: https://forum.syncthing.net/search?context=topic&context_id=12958&q=too%20many%20open%20files&skip_context=true

I guess we can agree on that one :smile:

And this problem (if you had it) disappeared?
