Resource temporarily unavailable

The Linux system limit on the number of max user processes can prevent Linaro Forge from starting up successfully.

This can generate error messages stating Resource temporarily unavailable, or you find that Linaro Forge only starts successfully for a lower number of application processes.

Solution

Do one or more of the following to mitigate the issue:

  • Increase the system limit on the number of max user processes, for example using ulimit -u, or request your system administrator to do so.

    Ensure this is done on the nodes where your application runs.

  • Reduce the number of application processes per node.

  • Set the environment variable FORGE_DEBUGGER_CPUS to a value less than the number of processors per node.
