Re: vnode: table is full



Yep.

Try sysctl -w kern.maxvnodes=67584

(or whatever number you want)

Chances are one of your users is doing something silly like trying to maintain 200,000 open filehandles at once.

Good luck,

Has anyone using Xsan run into problems with running out of vnodes? We
have had our production servers fail several times now this way
leaving us to power cycle the server to get it to come back as we are
locked out via ssh. What we see in system.log is this:


Apr 21 23:32:23 san101-75 kernel[0]: vnode: table is full Apr 21 23:32:23 san101-75 kernel[0]: 33792 desired, 33792 numvnodes, 0 free, 0 inactive


These logs messages repeat thousands of times until we rebooted the server.


Another message is that comes up once in a while is:

Apr 21 23:32:29 san101-75 netinfod local[53]: dsstore_fetch_internal
97 fopen Store.1088 failed: Too many open files in system


Anyone else seen this or got any ideas on ways to fix it? Applecare's only recommendation right now is to add more memory to the servers and see if it goes away. Not exactly my favorite response ;-)

Thanks,

Steve Sax
