[uml-devel] [BUG] "too many open files" when using hostfs

["Sven Köhler" <skoehler@upb.de>]

hi,

i mounted the directory /usr/portage from my host into my UML-machine 
(also to /usr/portage). The directory is mounted read-only. After that, 
i did "emerge -upD world" which must have accessed many many files. 
emerge crashed with the exception "too many open files" and indeed, the 
processes inside the UML cannot open any file anymore.

If i do an "lsof" on the host, i see that the kernel-process has still 
opened many many files from /usr/portage - too many files ;-)

So this should be bug in hostfs, so that hostfs doesn't close files on 
the host if they are closed inside the UML. Is there a fix for that already?

Thx
   Sven
