Bug 320541 – net-dns/bind-9.4.3_p5 : give error in general.log: maximum number of FD events (64) received

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marek Królikowski 2010-05-19 10:01:44 UTC]

After start named i got error in general.log:
19-May-2010 11:53:21.838 sockmgr 0xb7374008: maximum number of FD events (64) received

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/named start
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
19-May-2010 11:53:21.838 sockmgr 0xb7374008: maximum number of FD events (64) received

Expected Results:  
no errors

I think this is a problem:
--------------------------------------------------
'MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FD EVENTS (64) RECEIVED' ERROR:
--------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Seems to be affecting bind-9.4.3b2 (Possibly isolated to  
Solaris...)

LOGGED AS:
general: sockmgr: maximum number of FD events (64) received


EXPERIMENTAL SOLUTIONS:

Increasing ISC_SOCKET_MAXEVENTS from 64 to 128 seems to reduce  
frequency of warning.

i get this from:
http://marc.info/?l=bind-users&m=121754031625416

Please do a patch to increase ISC_SOCKET_MAXEVENTS from 64 to 128.
Thanks

Have you tried a more recent version of bind yet?
This might have been fixed already.

I suggest to test a more recent version to see if it has been fixed already.
We will look for a proper solution in case its still persistent in more recent versions.
