Yeah agree, would be nice to either patch lsof to show them, or come up with an alternative way to expose it so it just works. >>> Do they get accounted in rlimit? of which user? >> >> The fixed file table is limited in size by RLIMIT_NOFILE by the user >> that registers it. > > That's different for fuse as the server wouldn't register the whole > file table in one go.
