After about 10-20 dialouts, go and look through /proc/<pid>/fd for the
key processes involved here. For example:
# ls -al /proc/1/fd
total 0
dr-x------ 2 root root 0 2008-04-10 16:33 .
dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 2008-03-27 07:22 ..
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-04-11 09:49 0 -> /dev/console (deleted)
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-04-11 09:49 1 -> /dev/console (deleted)
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-04-11 09:49 2 -> /dev/console (deleted)
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-04-11 09:49 3 -> socket:[8618]
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2008-04-11 09:49 4 -> inotify
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2008-04-11 09:49 5 -> pipe:[8619]
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2008-04-11 09:49 6 -> pipe:[8619]
If a process has a file leak it should be obvious which file it is
opening and not closing. From there, look in the source for the
file leak assocaited with that file/socket etc,
Cheers,
