is ISPN-1936 fixed? For infinispan.. too many open files in Linux

[abhishekatverse]

Hi

          I am using using infinispan 5.1.4.FINAL . I am facing an issue of too many open files in Linux. When I investigated I am seeing that all are infinspan files.  It seems it opens a file for each key in the cache.

Then I came across http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/infinispan-issues/2012-March/012078.html .

         Can anyone tell me if this was fixed in 5.1.4.FINAL. If so then why am I getyting this issue?

Regards

Abhishek

Hi, try setting the file synchronization mode to per write:

{code:xml}
         <loader class="org.infinispan.loaders.file.FileCacheStore"
                ...
                purgeOnStartup="false" >
            <properties>
               <property name="location" value="/pathToStore"/>
               <property name="fsyncMode" value="perWrite"/>
            </properties>
         </loader>
{code}

Hi Mark

                This did not help. Still I am getting "too many open files" after setting this and a restart.

We're experimenting with a file cache store that uses less files, but in the mean time I'd suggest using another cache store, i.e. JDBM, Berkeley, JDBC cache store, Cassandra.
