[Samba] Too many opened files....samba 3.0.28a

Ok.  I matched /proc/sys/fs/file-max (i.e 1,000,000) to the "max open files" parameter in smb.conf.

This did the trick.

Apparently an application on a CIFS client (running WINXP) opens many, many files.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
bp

Ok, take a look inside /proc for all the existing smbd
processes and see if any of them have an outrageous
number of open file descriptors.
