https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D266592 Bug ID: 266592 Summary: diff(1): 'diff -rl' called on 2 large directories opens too many files Product: Base System Version: 13.1-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yuri@freebsd.org I've ran this command and it failed: > $ diff -rl work.test1 work > diff: kqueue: Too many open files in system Both work and work.test1 are build directories of one port. ktrace(1) shows that the file descriptor value grows continuously until the above error occurs. Correct behavior: the above command shouldn't keep many files open. It is supposed to find differences between files, and can have 2 compared files o= pen and perhaps also 2 compared directories open. There should be no need to keep a large number of files open. 13.1-STABLE --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
