Comment:

racgimon could not close file descriptors. It repeats to close different file descriptors which are incremented 1 in each subsequent close() system call.

close() system calls return EBADF, which is The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.

Comment:

privileged option of process.max-file-descriptor had reached to 2.15G descriptors. But, no privileged option had been set to it.

Comment by ubTools Support [ 26/Mar/13 03:21 PM ]
WORKAROUND:

Set privileged option to a value as an example below:

# projmod -s -K "process.max-file-descriptor=(basic,4096,deny),(privileged,65536,deny)" 'user.oracle'

After setting, check as below:

$ prctl -n process.max-file-descriptor -i process $$
process: 708: -sh
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
process.max-file-descriptor
        basic           4.10K       -   deny                               708
        privileged      65.5K       -   deny                                 -
        system          2.15G     max   deny                                 -
