| Summary | 0001938: Ardour crashes when running short of file descriptors on OSX | ||||
| Description | Open a session large enough for Ardour to run short of file descriptor. Ardour will refuse to open the session with lots of messages like this one: [ERROR]: SndFileSource: cannot open file "/Users/gomes/Desktop/kmd-batterie-finale/sounds/Basse-10.wav" for reading (System error.) and a popup saying it gives up: "programming error: unknown region type passed to Session::add_region() | ||||
| Additional Information | OSX/PPC 10.4.10 running on a PowerBook G4 Ardour 2.1, X11 interface The session file is attached. I can open the session after running "ulimit -n 1024"; "lsof|grep ardour" returns 488 lines, whereas the default setting on OSX is 256 file descriptors. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Something I forgot to add: when Ardour reaches the limit while it is already up and running (I guess it is at this point anyway), adding new files (in my case recording new takes) makes it crash on the spot, no error popup or anything like this. |

|
since this report was filed: 1) ardour now increases the open file limit to the maximum allowed value 2) no longer crashes if the limit has been exceeded (at least for this particular case) 3) ardour handles missing source files a bit more elegantly as well |
