I believe this got fixed long ago - I can't reproduce any problem like this now. If someone provides me with enough disks I can test the precise case:-) Note that you still need 1 file descriptor per metadata area in a volume group. So if you had 1000 PVs in a single VG and used default settings (which would be a rather stupid thing to do - you really don't want to maintain 999 backup copies of your metadata - see 'man pvcreate'!) - you'd need a few more than 1000 file descriptors. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2005-192.html |
