I have 20 VM's (21 RBD volumes open) running on a single host and when booting the 21st machine I get the below error from libvirt/QEMU. I'm able to shut down a VM and start another in it's place so there seems to be a hard limit on the amount of volumes I'm able to have open. I did some googling and the error 11 from pthread_create seems to mean 'resource unavailable' so I'm probably running into a thread limit of some sort. I did try increasing the max_thread kernel option but nothing changed. I moved a few VM's to a different empty host and they start with no issues at all. >>> >>> This machine has 4 OSD's running on it in addition to the 20 VM's. Kernel 3.7.1. Ceph 0.56.1 and QEMU 1.3.0.
