I see this bug too on real hardware: Linux epib-genstat3 3.2.0-36-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 8 21:44:52 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This is on a server and showed up after 9 days of uptime. Furthermore, it doesn't only show up when running tail -f, but also keeps libvirt-bin in a restart loop. /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log keeps repeating (with a different pid each time of course): 2013-01-30 13:43:35.046+0000: 25431: info : libvirt version: 0.9.8 2013-01-30 13:43:35.046+0000: 25431: error : umlStartup:471 : cannot initialize inotify 2013-01-30 13:43:35.046+0000: 25431: error : virStateInitialize:854 : Initialization of UML state driver failed 2013-01-30 13:43:35.046+0000: 25431: error : daemonRunStateInit:1157 : Driver state initialization failed
Unfortunately, since this is a production server I can't easily reboot with a new kernel... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101666 Title: inotify fd leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1101666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
