Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply.
We have reset
> search.maxfieldlength = 10000
to 20000
And as advised, we run cronjob to index-all daily. However,
after adding about 300+ abstracts (within several days), we
ran into the "Too many open files" error again.
We are running Linux Enterprise 3.0. After the error occurred,
I used "lsof" to check the open files and found that there were 991
lines of the following:
jsvc
998 dspace 25r
REG 3,3 35728995 12157167
/dspace/search/_2tb.cfs (deleted)
Out of 991, 482 do not have the "(deleted)" word at the end:
jsvc
998 dspace 1006r
REG 3,3 36988949 12157125
/dspace/search/_2tb.cfs
Were these opened files? Why weren't they closed?
After restarting Tomcat, these "search" files were gone.
I was referring to the exchanges posted by Jim Downing and MacKenzie
Smith back in 26th and 27th of August 2004. They talked about the 6MB index
file limit and solutions. The subject was "Lucene compound file format".
But since there were 991 open files, it seems our problem is
not related to the 6MB index limit size.
I wonder if other sites also have this problem.
Thanks,
