• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Question .nfsxxxxx files

lema

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 11.11
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.66 Update #2
Hello!
We are using an NFS mounted disk for storing the vhost files, according to this Plesk article.

Although everything seems to function correctly, a user received the following error message:
Publication failed. Please try again
filemng failed: rm: cannot remove '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.tld/httpdocs/css/.nfs0000000000010d7600000ee7': Device or resource busy.
filemng: Error occurred during /bin/rm command.

The .nfs0000000000010d7600000ee7 file appears to be held open by the Nginx service, which releases the file after restarting the service.
I assume the creation of .nfsxxxxx files is normal behavior with NFS, but is there a way to perform regular cleanup of such files?

In the case of .nfs0000000000010d7600000ee7, the file remained locked for 2-3 days until the Nginx service was restarted.

Thank you in advance for your help!
 
The issue occurs on both of our Plesk servers.
I have tried every possible option in the NFS mount settings, but I haven't been able to resolve it.

The .nfs000000 files are kept open by Nginx, and when running the following commands,
I can see that nginx: worker process is shutting down

In panel.ini I have the:
[webserver]
syncModeOnRemoveConfiguration = true

and the /etc/fstab entry is:
192.168.1.10:/plesk-vhosts /var/www/vhosts nfs hard,timeo=150,retrans=2,_netdev 0 0

Any idea ??


Bash:
#lsof .nfs000000000001d29900000001
COMMAND   PID  USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
nginx   29486 nginx   48r   REG   0,45    54822 119449 .nfs000000000001d29900000001

Bash:
#ps aux | grep 29486
nginx  29486  0.0  0.1 102428 18172 ?  S  13:23  0:00 nginx: worker process is shutting down

Hello, @lema Could you please open a report here and provide step-by-step instructions on how we can attempt to reproduce the issue on a test environment so I can forward it to our team for a further review? Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
 
Hello @Sebahat.hadzhi
I will open the report, Now I see that the site was built using Sitejet Builder.
The user reports that the issue occurs (sometimes) during publishing.
The server hosts 50 domains without similar issues, all of which are dynamic PHP sites.
