Too many open files error. [Windows]

[aaronkuchma]

I've been getting errors like the following since upgrading to Sab 0.7.20

ERROR: [05/Dec/2014:06:31:22] Traceback (most recent call last): File "cherrypy\_cprequest.pyo", line 98, in run File "cherrypy\_cprequest.pyo", line 58, in __call__ File "cherrypy\_cptools.pyo", line 158, in _wrapper File "cherrypy\lib\static.pyo", line 199, in staticdir File "cherrypy\lib\static.pyo", line 146, in _attempt File "cherrypy\lib\static.pyo", line 72, in serve_file IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SABnzbd\\interfaces\\Plush\\templates\\static\\stylesheets/colorschemes/gold/images/nav/help.png'

It seems to pop up when the NzbToMedia script is running, and there is an NZB that gets added (because of a failed download for instance, or because I've recently added a show in SickRage). SickRage and NzbToMedia were working well together prior to the 0.7.20 update.

Since 0.7.20 I've also configured sab to report feedback to Usenet-Crawler.

Anyone have any idea what might be causing the too many files open error? It goes away after a restart of Sab, so I'm guessing Sab is the application holding on to too many file handles.

If so, more users would be complaining.
The limits are quite high on Windows.
Downgrade if you think SABnzbd 0.7.20 is the problem.

As Shypike says.

Furthermore: "meten is weten", so measure which files are open. For Windows the method is:

Find CMD (via Start Search), then Run as Administor, then type

Code: Select all

openfiles /local ON

Then reboot your system
Find CMD (via Start Search), then Run as Administor, then type

Code: Select all

openfiles /query

and find which process has which files open.

Oneliner to find files that are open by SABnzbd:

Code: Select all

C:\>openfiles /query | find /I "sabnzbd"
16    SABnzbd.exe          C:\Windows
28    SABnzbd.exe          C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd
188   SABnzbd.exe          C:\Windows\SysWOW64\nl-NL\KernelBase.dll.mui
236   SABnzbd.exe          C:\Windows\SysWOW64\nl-NL\setupapi.dll.mui

768   SABnzbd.exe          C:\..\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\logs\sabnzbd.log
772   SABnzbd.exe          C:\..\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\logs\sabnzbd.log

And to count:

Code: Select all

C:\>openfiles /query | find /C /I "sabnzbd"
