File Descriptors in Bitcoin Core

Overview

  • We use leveldb for multiple databases: block index, chainstate and (optionally) txindex. block index is very small, but chainstate and txindex can grow to many hundreds of files.
  • Each database has a limit on number of 'open files'. This limit includes both mmapped files (which ldb takes the fd for, opens and then closes, returning the fd) and files which ldb opens and holds the fd for. There's a default in the leveldb code here. This is the per-database max_open_files limit.
