I get the following error:
Fatal: epoll_create(): Too many open files (you may need to increase /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances)
Works fine if I start it by hand, I'm guessing it has to due with the environment heart starts it in?
That happens immediately at startup? Yeah, there's something not set up correctly.
My first thought was to do exactly what the message suggests, but my kernel doesn't appear to define max_user_instances, but there is a max_user_watches.
What Linux kernel version? Looks like the whole /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ doesn't exist in latest CentOS (2.6.18 kernel), even though epoll_create man page refers to it..
Anyway, I can't really help much. What heartbeat are you talking about? linux-ha.org's? Maybe they have some mailing list and can answer this.
