NFS "too many open files" since upgrading to 7.0.0

Featured Replies

I don't know what changed, but I can't connect to my Unraid NFS shares any more. I attempted to restart and it fails. The logs show

Jan 19 11:31:30 Star-Labs rpc.mountd[118572]: Unable to initialise v4clients watcher: Too many open files
Jan 19 11:31:30 Star-Labs rc.nfsd: NFS server daemon...  Failed.
tail: inotify cannot be used, reverting to polling: Too many open files

 

 

The last line is from when I tail the log files. So I thought maybe it was an inotify issue. I researched and saw to install Tips and Tweaks. I doubled my watches, nadda

There are new settings in Unraid 7.0 that may help this:

  • Go to Settings->Global Share Settings and increase the "Number of fuse File Descriptors:".  I would start by doubling the default.
  • Go to Settings->NFS and increase the "Number of Threads:" from the default of 8.

These two things will probably help.

Currently it is showing (null) could that be part of it??

No, it shouldn't.  It defaults to 40960.  Blank the line (remove the (null)), then enter a value at least double the default value.

The File Descriptors worked thanks!
