I have 50 torrents running, with 48 seeding. A restart of the daemon fixes the issue.

Usually I ignore Launchpad bug reports as they are VERY long and don't really have any conclusion, but glad this helped. Of course I don't know if this worked (will have to add torrents and see if the error appear
no apparent reason), and when you examine it, you'll see an error similarto:$ transmission-remote -t 1 -i | grep -i 'open files' Unable to save resume file. Too many open files. Time to increase the https://blog.samat.org/2011/04/05/Increase-file-descriptors-for-Transmission-on-Linux/ number of file descriptors available. This article is tailored towards Debian andUbuntu.It's https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues/594 unlikely you'll need to raise your system's global limit. Checkwith:$ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 397460 The OS needs a couple thousand file descriptors for itself. Make sure to make space for them with whatever numbers to choose below. In my case, I've more thanenough.If you still need to raise your system's limit, you too many can easily; to set it to a million (which will be remembered acrossreboots):sudo sh -c "echo fs.file-max=$(dc -e '2 20 ^ p') > /etc/sysctl.d/file-descriptors-max.conf sudo service procps restart While you may not need to change your system's global limit, you probably will need to change the limit for your users. Check that limitwith:$ ulimit -Sn 1024 $ ulimit -Hn 1024 If you're working too many open with hundreds of torrents (each with dozens to hundreds of files) with Transmission, this isn't enough. To let a user have a few thousand (in the below example, 16,384, with 128 more for the hard limit), create a new file/etc/security/limits.d/debian-transmission.conf:sudo sh -c "echo debian-transmission soft nofile $(dc -e '2 14 ^ p')" > /etc/security/limits.d/debian-transmission.conf sudo sh -c "echo debian-transmission hard nofile $(dc -e '2 14 ^ 2 7 ^ + p')" >> /etc/security/limits.d/debian-transmission.conf Replace "debian-transmission" with the user that is runningTransmission.For the changes to go into effect, you need to logout completely (e.g. close multiplexed SSH connections, etc), and log back in again. Or to be sure, just reboot to make sure changes kick in. You'll see you have many more file descriptorsavailable:$ ulimit -Sn 16384 $ ulimit -Hn 16512 Now, we need to configure Transmission to use this many. In /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json, find the open-file-limit option and set to a larger number (e.g. 16000 or so). When done, restarttransmission-daemon:sudo service transmission-daemon restart If you're not running Transmission as a system user, edit the right settings.json and restart the daemonappropriately.That's it.

After poking around I noticed that /proc//fd/ had 1024 entries in it - it's hitting a rather conservative ulimit of 1024 file descriptors. I say this is conservative because every open socket is given a file descriptor as well and even with a few active peers this number grows and grows as the daemon queries trackers and peers for blocks. Since the rootfs, being squashfs, is read-only sysctl settings don't stick.. Can we have the default ulimit bumped to something more reasonable on platforms that can handle it? (I'm using the 64bit fusion builds on an e350 zacate) Failing that, can we have transmission patched to check ulimit and not attempt to exceed it or something? This problem is resulting in me having to slay and restart the daemon every 2 or 3 days or reboot the machine even when transmission is idle. Cheers stefansaraev commented May 7, 2012 sysctl -w fs.file-max=384848 try adding this to autostart.sh and see if it helps anomaly256 commented May 7, 2012 Where do I find/create that file? I don't see it presently in my install.. stefansaraev commented May 7, 2012 /storage/.config/autostart.sh anomaly256 commented May 7, 2012 Thanks anomaly256 commented May 7, 2012 default seems to be fs.file-max = 788695 btw, still want me to reduce it? stefansaraev
