wine and too many files open

[Gagi2]

hi&hello...
i already have read the section in the faq... but this didnt resolve my problem...

but first things first
im running 3 dayz servers on my debian 6 machine
im starting them with xvfb every one in his own screen
so far so good...
when i want to start a 4th server now i get this message

Code: Select all

err:winediag:FILE_CreateFile Too many open files, ulimit -n probably needs to be increased

when i stop one of the 3 servers then i can start the 4th without any problems...
but there can only be 3 started at the same time...

i already set the limit to the double amount as it was on standard (1024 -> 2048)
i also tried it with more than 10k
in my etc/security/limits.conf i have now

Code: Select all

gameserver	hard	nofile	2048
gameserver	soft	nofile	2048

ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn shows them correct too
the server was also rebooted for testing...
but the problem still remains...

i hope someone can help me out with this one... im slowly running out of ideas right now...

regards

It's probably the wineserver hitting some limit.
How many unix fds does it have open?

Find its pid, then do
ls /proc/NNNN/fd | wc -l

[Gagi2]

it says

Code: Select all

gameserver@server01:~$ ls /proc/3731/fd | wc -l
872

with the 3 servers running...

i have stopped all 3 and checked the values with every server
so here we go

DayZ Epoch running

Code: Select all

gameserver@server01:~$ ls /proc/24917/fd | wc -l
356

DayZ Epoch & DayZ Standard running

Code: Select all

gameserver@server01:~$ ls /proc/24917/fd | wc -l
610

DayZ Epoch & DayZ Standard & DayZ Origins running

Code: Select all

gameserver@server01:~$ ls /proc/24917/fd | wc -l
874
