Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] "Failed to set frequency to ..." message in Spectrum scan

[Rahman Doost]

I checked and they're not hundreds. In fact there does not seem to be anything unusual about that.

Plus I see some 'S' sequences every 3 or 4 failed scans too. In USRP2 usage FAQ, it says this happens when packets are dropped. But I don't know which one causes the other one.

You can easily see if file descriptors are leaking.

While it's running, from another terminal window, just do
ls -l /proc/NNNNN/fd, where NNNNN is the process ID.  This will
list all the file descriptors and what they're used for.  If there
are hundreds, there's your problem.
