Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Number of open files (Dir's) how to close? Post 302255828 by otheus on Friday 7th of November 2008 08:17:38 AM

Just about anytime the directory is being read -- possibly by lsof itself. It can also be in read mode if there is a process that set its current working directory (setcwd()) to that directory. It might also be becuase a process opened the directory for reading, but never bothered to close it, and that this process is still running. (A buggy FTP server perhaps?)
