Subject: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup 2/2] GC: raise nofile soft limit to the hard limit on s3 backed stores
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 11:45:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118104529.254348-3-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251118104529.254348-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com>
Since commit 86d5d073 ("GC: fix race with chunk upload/insert on s3
backends"), per-chunk file locks are acquired during phase 2 of
garbage collection for datastores backed by s3 object stores. This
however means that up to 1000 file locks might be held at once, which
can result in the limit of open file handles to be reached.
Therefore, bump the nolimit from the soft to the hard limit.
