It appears the change I made wasn't what was needed. I took a nap, |
| 49 |
after doing today what I used to do on Friday, which involves going to |
| 50 |
Doctor, getting shots, then shopping around town etc etc. Anyway, I |
| 51 |
woke up to Qbittorrent being gone. It crashed at some point. In the |
| 52 |
notification thingy, it had a few of the file open errors again. So, I |
| 53 |
ran some of the commands you posted, my hard limit was set to 4096. I |
| 54 |
whipped out my calculator and doubled it. I set it in the limits.conf |
| 55 |
file like so: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
root@fireball / # cat /etc/security/limits.conf | grep nofile |
| 58 |
# - nofile - max number of open file descriptors |
| 59 |
* hard nofile 8192 |
| 60 |
root@fireball / # |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
I logged out and back in. I ran the command you shared and it was |
| 64 |
indeed set to the new amount. I'm going to upgrade qbittorrent to the |
| 65 |
new version again and test it some more. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Thanks much for the help. Maybe this will fix it. |
