Hello, I'm using yum to udpate ~2000 rpms and around the ~1000 rpm I usually get : Assertion `fd && fd->magic == 0x04463138' A bit of googeling shows thats a limitation of the open file handles, which is 1024. So setting ulimit -n 8192 fixes the problem, but I think that yum/rpm (?) has a filedescriptor leak somewhere. Is this right? Can it be fixed? There a many fds in the state "CLOSEWAIT" and all seem to be open: pxe3:~ # lsof -p 5384 | grep http | wc -l 1788 regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
