Beagle 0.0.11.1: "no space left on device"

[kamstrup]

I am running the latest 0.0.11.1 beagle from Hoary backports on a 2.6.12 inotify enabled kernel.

If i run beagled in a terminal terminal and do a best search the terminal starts spitting "ioctl: No space left on device" out like crazy, and it doesn't seem to stop.

EDIT: Oh, and I have several GB free on all partitions, I might add... ;-P

On an aside: at daemon startup I am notified of some evo address-book scanning probs, even though I have libevolution-cil installed...

WARN: Could not open Evolution addressbook. Addressbook searching is disabled.
DEBUG: System.DllNotFoundException: libebook-1.2.so.0
in (wrapper managed-to-native) Evolution.Book:e_book_new_system_addressbook (intptr&)

I do have /usr/lib/libebook-1.2.so.3 ... so..?

Well apart from that, it seems to be working =D
Cheers!

link so.3 to so.0 using ln... quick hack to get it working ;)


As far as the ioctl... I don't know much about inotify... don't know.

[kamstrup]

Yes. Definitely an inotify problem. Does not happen on stock Hoary kernel... The question just is, if it's a Beagle or inotify bug, or just me being lame :-S

Does anybody else experience this? Should I file a bug somewhere?

[jdong]

It might just be an inotify bug.. .that you can't do much about....

I've found this at Beagle Wiki (http://www.beaglewiki.org/Troubleshooting):


"ioctl: No space left on device"

If you're getting this it's because beagle is hitting the kernel limit for the number of directories a single process can monitor. To change this limit echo a bigger number to /sys/class/misc/inotify/max_user_watches. The default is 8192. 16384 is good, 32768 is probably more than enough. Notice that this will waste more memory.

To try this do:

# echo 16384 > /sys/class/misc/inotify/max_user_watches

To make the change permanent you should put that command in one of your boot scripts.


I hope this information can solve your problem :)
