Error message: unable to open object pack directory: .git/objects/pack: Too many open files

Error message: unable to open object pack directory: .git/objects/pack: Too many open files

[Лежанкин Иван]

I get this error message every time I want to do a `git push`.
git version: 1.8.4.2

Is it a known issue? Do you need additional info to investigate it?

Ivan.

What does
ulimit -n
tells to you when you run it before executing `git push`?

What OS do you use? If the repository can be published, please do.
Compress the whole .git directory, don't push or anything. Does the
error message begin with "remote: "? If not you could try strace and
at least identify what files are opened.

I use linux.

I can't publish repo - it's proprietary, it weights ~300M unpacked,
and it uses references ~3Gb.
Error message doesn't contain "remote:" prefix.
The majority of opened files have name like:
objects/pack/pack-<hash>.[ pack | idx ]
They all are from referenced repo.

I have disabled gc in the referenced repo - to prevent all local repos
from breaking. May this be the cause of problem?

There's a fix related to too many open packs, 88d0db5 (sha1_file:
introduce close_one_pack() to close packs on fd pressure - 2013-08-01)
but it's only available in v1.5.0-rc0 or rc1. Could you try that
version?

I believe you mean 1.8.5-rc0 or 1.8.5-rc1, is that correct?

I've tried your commit.
No more error messages.

Looking forward to the next git version.
Thanks.
