I have an issue where a process has a different max file size than the ulimit for a user. The log file for this process is basically not growing past 524288
proc:
less /proc/20238/limits
Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units
...
Max file size 524288 524288 bytes
...
ulimit:
ulimit -a
...
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
...
From what I can tell, there is no ulimit being set in the script that starts the process.
I have also looked at /etc/security/limits.conf but that only has entries for nofile and nproc
Q: Do you have any idea what else could be setting the file size limit?
If it is any help, here is a scrubbed version of what starts the process:
nohup java $WALLET_OPTS -DOracleName="FileSender" -DAPP=FILE_SDR -Dapp_props=$APP_PROPS -Dfile_name=${FILE_NAME} -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:-EliminateLocks $APPMEM -DDEBUG_MQSERVER=TRUE -classpath $CLASSPATH com.some.path.FileSdrSrv 10 1>> $APP_LOG/filesdr.log 2>&1 &
The java file doesn't set the ulimit either.
