It's a home server which is mainly being used for pictures and music. I thought 126k was abundantly enough for a server with this function.

The user limit can be seen with a 'ulimit -n' and can be set higher with a 'ulimit -n 4096' style command, as root, to work aroundthis problem. I would suggest a doubling of the current ulimit.
# ulimit -n 1024I guess this is probably the "fault", if you could call it that. The big question is, shouldn't 1024 file descriptors be enough to run a successfull backup?
My next question is more a matter of how I can set the ulimit so that it influences cron. As I mentioned earlier, I'm running Ubuntu 8.10.
I'm going to assume that this means that you consider it a bug. I'll wait for the response once you've had time to look into it more thoroughly.If the system limit is being reached somehow, then look here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/64716-where-chnage-file-max-permanently.html or if that wraps: http://tinyurl.com/5caer7 I'm going to need to chase this one some more it looks like. I thought it was fixed.
