I think the culprit are files being removed from another cleanup-process, while still being in the cache. (i.e. forecast-files).
With a cache of only 10min, instead of 200 files forever, the problem is not completely solved, but doesn't seem to appear any longer (stable for a week yet). And we didn't recognize any performance degration.

Heiko, Did you ever figure this out? We just had our thredds4.0.26/tomcat6.0.18 crash with "Too man open files" also. -Rich On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 4:53 AM, Heiko Klein <Heiko.Klein@xxxxxx> wrote:Hi, we just had a crash of the thredds4.0.25/tomcat server and I was able to analyse a bit the system before the operators restarted it. Error message was: 'Too many open files' and checking the open files with lsof or /proc/PID/fd showed 1021 open netcdf-files for the tomcat-pid. We haven't made any changes to the thredds4 configuration concerning the file-caches, so they should be between 200-400. We're using WCS, too, so this might add some more files, but still not up to 1021. We also use some aggregations of netcdf files, so one 'thredds-aggregation' might consist of some hundred netcdf-files. Maybe this is counted as one file in the fileCache? I currently try to avoid further crashes by increasing the ulimit -n from 1024 to 16384, but I would rather be able to tune the file-cache properly instead of throwing more resources at it.
