Error: too many open files

gchen · 4 September 2020 01:16

What is the TTL of webdav.pcloud.com on your machine? On mine it is 7200 seconds. If this TTL is too small there will be too many DNS requests.

$ dig +nocmd +noall +answer webdav.pcloud.com
webdav.pcloud.com.	7199	IN	A	74.120.8.227

I think you should keep running lsof once Duplicacy starts. Maybe write a script to save the output of lsof to a file every minute. You should be watching all file descriptors opened by the Duplicacy CLI, not the web GUI. If the list of file descriptors keeps grow, it may be fairly obvious what is leaking.

Aaah, TTL! that is the answer to this question:

Anyway: a couple of hours ago, I was also getting 7200. But now (after having started by check command on the web-ui) I’m getting slightly less:

$ dig +nocmd +noall +answer webdav.pcloud.com
webdav.pcloud.com.      6188    IN      A       74.120.8.227

And now, I couple of minutes later, it’s less again:

$ dig +nocmd +noall +answer webdav.pcloud.com
webdav.pcloud.com.      5862    IN      A       74.120.8.227

I’m assuming that this is reflecting the countdown of those two hours that was triggered when duplicacy queried the DNS.

As suggested, I am also monitoring which files duplicacy has opened. I did the following:

$ ps aux | grep duplicacy
root       959  0.0  0.2 196800 21184 ?        Ssl  Aug25   3:05 /usr/bin/duplicacy-web
root     28590  5.3  0.5 126696 40192 ?        Sl   15:30   0:01 /.duplicacy-web/bin/duplicacy_linux_x64_2.6.1 -log -v check -storage pcloud -a -tabular
root     29241  0.0  0.0   6204   888 pts/4    S+   15:30   0:00 grep duplicacy

Then I used the pid of the CLI process to do

$ lsof -p 28590 -r300 >> /zfs/NAS/christoph/duplicacy_open_files.log &

(I thought logging every five minutes would be sufficient.)

So currently I’m getting:

COMMAND     PID USER   FD      TYPE    DEVICE SIZE/OFF      NODE NAME

I’ll get back once the process has failed.

This is the kind of thing I am suspecting, but I’m unable to trace down that kind of stuff by myself. So let’s see what that log will reveal.

So, here we go. It didn’t take very long until things started piling up. I’ll give you the last “ordinary” log and then the one five minutes later and another five minutes later (to stay within the max character limit per post I’m cutting out repetitive lines):

Just to make sure that I didn’t do something wrong: I downloaded the new binary into .duplicacy-web/bin/ and made it executable with chmod +x, moved the existing binary duplicacy_linux_x64_2.6.1 out of there and renamed the new binary to that name (it didn’t work when I left the name at duplicacy_linux_x64_2.6.11 and I couldn’t find the symlink that I suppose is pointing at the other name so I just renamed the file). When I started by check comman and looked for the pid I got this:

$ ps aux | grep duplicacy
root       959  0.0  0.2 196800 16984 ?        Ssl  Aug25   3:45 /usr/bin/duplicacy-web
root     24909  4.1  0.7 127144 57220 ?        Sl   14:36   0:03 /.duplicacy-web/bin/duplicacy_linux_x64_2.6.1 -log -v check -storage pcloud -a -tabular
root     26258  0.0  0.0   6204   824 pts/2    S+   14:37   0:00 grep duplicacy

So it looks like it was indeed using the new (renamed) binary.

gchen · 6 September 2020 02:54

I found a place where a call to io.Copy(ioutil.Discard, readCloser) should be added but missed by the PR:

github.com

gilbertchen/duplicacy/blob/670cbcd776875f140e58ea82e5f3d6361bb701df/src/duplicacy_webdavstorage.go#L230


			propfind += fmt.Sprintf("<%s/>", p)
		}
		propfind += "</prop>"

		body := fmt.Sprintf(`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><propfind xmlns="DAV:">%s</propfind>`, propfind)

		readCloser, _, err := storage.sendRequest("PROPFIND", uri, depth, []byte(body))
		if err != nil {
			return nil, err
		}
		defer readCloser.Close()

		object := WebDAVMultiStatus{}
		err = xml.NewDecoder(readCloser).Decode(&object)
		if err != nil {
			if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "unexpected EOF") && tries < maxTries {
				LOG_WARN("WEBDAV_RETRY", "Retrying on %v", err)
				continue
			}
			return nil, err
		}

So I added that call and made another binary: https://acrosync.com/duplicacy/duplicacy_linux_x64_2.6.12

You can download this binary to /.duplicacy-web/bin/ and then restart the web GUI. It should automatically pick up this version (because it always looks for the highest version in that directory).

Christoph · 6 September 2020 10:00

Ah, so that’s how it works. Good to know. But now it also downloaded 2.6.2 and is using that. Does that also include the changes?

Christoph · 10 September 2020 17:19

@gchen 2.6.2 still fails on “too many open files”

gchen · 11 September 2020 02:36

Did you actually mean 2.6.12? 2.6.2 is the latest version on github but the one I built for you is 2.6.12.

Christoph · 11 September 2020 08:01

You said

so I assumed (hoped) the the fix is also included in 2.6.2. Anyway, when I rename 2.6.12 so that it has the highest number, it fails like this:

Failed to get the information on the snapshot NAS at revision 254: Maximum backoff reached

I’m not sure what is going on but my hunch is that the error messages are inaccurate. I don’t belive that 1.1.1.1. actually said no such host. That would be very strange. What seems more likely is that this is still somehow related to the too many open files error but for some reason it is not showing in the log. Either the too many open files are causing duplicacy to send an invalid host name to the DNS or it is sending the correct host-name but then failing to understand the DNS response. Or wait: does no such host refer to 1.1.1.1? In that case the “too many open files” might somehow be preventing duplicacy from accessing the DNS server.

In any case, here is what my hunch is based on:

The log of duplicacy’s open files (obtained as described above) has the same pattern with 2.6.12 and 2.6.2 (hundreds of duplicacy 560 root 18u sock 0,9 0t0 154721532 protocol: TCP and hundres of duplicacy 560 root 887u IPv4 154828376 0t0 TCP server.lan:39200->api13.pcloud.com:https (CLOSE_WAIT) in both cases.
When running 2.6.2. it also fails in connection with DNS queries, except that the error message explicitly mentions too many open files. It says:
(I pasted the end of the log in this post).
We already had the same kind of error a couple of months ago (see this post above) but at the time we assumed that this actually was a DNS failure because I used a less popular DNS server then. In retrospect, I’m inclined to believe that even that DNS server was working fine back then.

So it seems to be somewhat random whether “too many open files” exctually shows in the logs or not but the root cause is likely the same.

I found another place where the response body wasn’t properly closed: Close the response body when 301 is returned in the WebDAV backend · gilbertchen/duplicacy@97bae5f · GitHub

However, I’m not sure this bug is the culprit in your case. This bug is triggered only when Duplicacy attempts to create directories, and only a backup job will create new directories. Plus, there are at most 256 subdirectories to create (with the default chunk nesting level of 1), so at most 256 file handles will be leaked which is usually less than the default limit on the number of files a process can open.

So, what is the type of jobs that kept failing for you and are you using a nesting level of 2?

Christoph · 14 September 2020 16:45

The job that keeps failing is a check job. backup jobs tend to work fine.

I have not changed anything with regards to nesting so if the default is 1, it is still 1. Looking at my storage, I see that there is only one more level of directories under ../chunks (folders 0a to ff). Each of these folders only contains chunks, no more folders.

@gchen What more can I do to track this down?

gchen · 18 September 2020 23:30

Can you send me a full log?

Christoph · 19 September 2020 17:25

Sent you a PM. Hope you find something interesting.

gchen · 25 September 2020 18:20

I believe this commit should fix the problem: Improvements for the WebDAV backend · gilbertchen/duplicacy@e3e3e97 · GitHub

From the log you sent me it is obvious that somehow pcloud returns EOFs when Duplicacy tries to create snapshot subdirectories, and Duplicacy keeps trying causing too many connections (I don’t think connections are leaking; it is just that too many connections are created in a short period of time).

This latest commit fixes two things. First, those snapshot subdirectories actually already exist in the storage – we can find them when listing the snapshot directory and store them in the cache. This should avoid unnecessary calls to CreateDirectory(). Second, when pcloud returns EOF on CreateDirectory() we’ll assume the directory already exists.

I’ll make a new CLI release over the weekend which will include this commit.

Christoph · 25 September 2020 20:13

Excellent! Sounds like we are getting somewhere!

It wouldn’t have occurred to me that the check command creates directories (or anything, for that matter). Why does it do that?

So the “too many open files” are actually too many connections? Because in Linux everything is a file?

Christoph · 28 September 2020 22:00

I saw release 2.7.0 on Github but when I start a job on the web-ui it still uses 2.6.2. Isn’t it supposed to automatically pull the latest version?

Edit: okay, it’s a bug. I just saw this:

Christoph · 29 September 2020 17:49

Wow, you nailed it, congratulations! The problem is solved. First try with version 2.7.0. went through without error. Yeay.

Would it be adequate to retrospectively file this as a #bug?

Christoph · 29 September 2020 23:31
