Hello

On a server that does not host any VPS LXC or KVM I regularly log these lines :
Aug 21 11:34:27 compute004 pveproxy[11230]: failed to accept connection: Too many open files
Aug 21 11:34:27 compute004 pveproxy[11436]: ipcc_send_rec[1] failed: Too many open files
Aug 21 11:34:27 compute004 pveproxy[11436]: ipcc_send_rec[2] failed: Too many open files
Aug 21 11:34:27 compute004 pveproxy[11436]: ipcc_send_rec[3] failed: Too many open files

Obviously there's a problem with Too Many Open Files but my limit is 50,000.

What is exact problem ? For info I use this server to interconnect a client interface with Modules Garden (WHMCS)
 
which versions are you running (pveversion -v)?
* there was a filedescriptor leak in pve-cluster < 5.0-29 (which is currently in pve-no-subscription)
* you need to restart pve-daemon, pve-proxy after upgrading
 
I also have this issue
pve-cluster: 6.1-8
