Since that the last restore works, I think there is a bug in xfsrestore or
xfs/nfs in the kernel 2.6.17.
Backupserver, Server, Knoppix are bugfixed 2.6.17(.7). Restoring the dump via nfs failed
due "too much open files".
Does xfsrestore opens really 512k files ? I do not belive that.
So It could a problem in Kernel or NFS Stack be the problem.
Not intentionally, but there could be a file descriptor leak somewhere
in xfsrestore or one of the libraries it uses. Take a look at
/proc/<xfsrestore pid>/fd while the restore is going on and see if the
file descriptor list is growing. If so, it should indicate what files
are being opened but not closed.
