Howdy, |

As some know, I discovered torrentting a while back. It has caused |
| 4 |
issues ever since. LOL I recently upgraded qbittorrent. Other than |
| 5 |
having to limit some speed settings since it would make my desktop |
| 6 |
response slow, it has worked OK, better than ktorrent at least. Then a |
| 7 |
couple days ago, perhaps related to a upgrade, it would crash. In the |
| 8 |
notifications I would find a error like below. I have changed the names |
| 9 |
to protect the innocent. ;-) |

|
| 11 |
An I/O error occurred for torrent 'ABCDEF'. |
| 12 |
Reason: ABCDEF file_open (/home/dale/Desktop/Videos/ABCDEF error: Too |
| 13 |
many open files |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I did a google search and found out more info which lead me to this |
| 17 |
eventually: |

https://www.tecmint.com/increase-set-open-file-limits-in-linux/ |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Then this: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
root@fireball / # sysctl fs.file-max |
| 25 |
fs.file-max = 3289952 |
| 26 |
root@fireball / # sysctl -w fs.file-max=32899520 |
| 27 |
fs.file-max = 32899520 |
| 28 |
root@fireball / # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max |
| 29 |
32899520 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So, I increased the limit on open files by a factor of ten, I added a |
| 33 |
zero on the end. It was easy enough and didn't require a calculator or |
| 34 |
other fancy maths. Question is, is this a better fix or could it just |
| 35 |
be qbittorrent itself having issues? Could there be more to this or |
| 36 |
something else causing this error? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I was using qbittorrent-4.4.5 but downgraded to qbittorrent-4.4.4. I'm |
| 39 |
hoping one or the other will fix this crashing issue. It did only start |
| 40 |
after the upgrade but could be a coincidence to I guess. |
| 41 |

By the way, the 10TB drive I bought a couple weeks or so ago, well, this |
| 44 |
is it now. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
/dev/mapper/10tb 9.1T 8.7T 345G 97% /mnt/10tb |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|

The 14TB is supposed to be here this weekend. I have really got to |
| 50 |
create a solution to this. My current plan, make the 14TB my backup |
| 51 |
drive. Put the 10TB in my rig, for now. It's getting full too. ROFL |
| 52 |
I could cut off the internet I guess. ROFLMBO |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Thoughts on the files open error? Qbittorrent crashing? Anyone else |
| 56 |
ran into this before? Proper solution? Better solution? |
