Hi Guys,

I started to have a problem on a Proxmox v6 with LXC.

After some time after run of a core server We're getting in VM while top / htop the message:

Cannot open /proc/stat: Transport endpoint is not connected

(top: failed /proc/stat open: Transport endpoint is not connected)

A stop / start for VM helps for a short time and a problem comes back...

The VM is debian 10 while the Proxmox is based on:

Linux server 5.4.174-2-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.4.174-2 (Thu, 10 Mar 2022 15:58:44 +0100) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Anyone has any ideas what could it be and how to get rid of this problem.

Thanks in advance ! ;)

regards,
G.
 
Hi,
maybe try to take a look into the logs of lxcfs:

Code: 
journalctl -u lxcfs
 
HI!

Thx for an answer... I increased ulimit, however I am still getting the below:

I see a similar error with LXC on proxmox 7, though it fixed after rebooting the container and has not happened since.
 
Still same... Even with increased files limit values...

Any idea how to get rid of these ? Thx!

cya!
 
Maybe try to find out what process has so many file handles opened:

Code: 
lsof | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n | head

# or to get the PID of the process in the second column you can substitute $1 with $2
lsof | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n | head
 
also did you restart the system after chaning the the open file limit?
 
Did you run the command as well to see which process is using so many file handles?
 
4347224 mysqld
270200 java
197123 apache2
25744 kvm
14326 master
13961 node
12609 rsyslogd
8120 systemd
7920 polkitd
7392 unattende

We have a big machine where we have ~100 LXC VMs. mysql eats a lot. However the system limits are still OK and errors / warning should not occur.

Hmm...

Any idea ?

more /proc/sys/fs/file-nr gives:

and still
journalctl -u lxcfs

gives:

Lets try to check the limits of the lxcfs process:

Code: 
$ ps aux | grep lxcfs

And now we take a look at how many files lxcfs has opened:

Code: 
lsof | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n | grep lxcfs
 
So now lets increase the file limit of the lxcfs process, for exmaple to 10240

Code: 
prlimit --nofile=10240: --pid <pid of lxcfs process>
 
DONE!

root@linux-server:~# cat /proc/2421/limits

Max cpu time unlimited unlimited seconds
Max file size unlimited unlimited bytes
Max data size unlimited unlimited bytes
Max stack size 8388608 unlimited bytes

Max msgqueue size 819200 819200 bytes
Max nice priority 0 0
Max realtime priority 0 0
Max realtime timeout unlimited unlimited us
 
now lets see if you still get the error from lxcfs :). If you get it check how many files are opened with:

Code: 
lsof | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n | grep lxcfs

and yes making it permanent is the next step ..., but lets see if it works
