[Gluster-devel] Too many open files

It happened again. This time, though, I noticed that both glusterfsd
processess had a few thousand file descriptors opened for files that had
been copied to the GlusterFS yesterday (I don't see why they should still
be open). Additionally, of course, the usual glusterfsd ran out of file
descriptors due to a huge number of open directories (probably some cron
job does a full directory transversal overnight) and had to be restarted.
Thanks,
Brent
