ERROR: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0: Too many open files
I do not recall seeing this earlier. This came when fourth simultaneous recording started.
dvb/dvb-core/dmxdev.c- if (i == dmxdev->filternum) { dvb/dvb-core/dmxdev.c- mutex_unlock(&dmxdev->mutex); dvb/dvb-core/dmxdev.c: return -EMFILE; dvb/dvb-core/dmxdev.c-}
IOW you ran out of filters. yes, the error code should probably be different (eg EBUSY).
So, why did I ran out of filters? Why did it happen? Why doesn't it happen on my other vdr box? And what does it cause? The recording did succeed.
you (well, vdr) used more filters than were available (in hw)? less simultaneous recordings, different hw and/or config? ("hw_sections" module parm?). Apparently vdr recovered somehow (eg another recording ended, the filters were opened in a different order etc).
Can't help you much more, I haven't used a FF card in years -- and since then all dvb-related problems vanished... It wasn't 100% reliable when live viewing, not to mention a single recording; a few novas have absolutely no problems w/ ~ 4-6 simultaneous recordings (never counted, but i believe it could go even higher) and this is on really low end hw (P2)...
