A Windows 2000 Server is a member server of the domain. The domain
server is CentOS 4.5 with all updates and Samba 3.0.24 built using the
packaging/RHEL/makerpms.sh script. The W2k server is opening this file
on the samba server.
This problem started several versions of CentOS and Samba ago, and I did
the upgrades thinking it would fix it. It did not.
It seems to be "locking" or "opening" a file zillions of times and then
finally starts throwing errors about "Too Many Files Open". I have all
of the kernel, level2, and oplocks set to 'no' in the smb.conf file.
The FD column starts out at 1uw and just grows until it reaches whatever
'open file' value I put in the /proc/sys/fs/file-max setting. Rebooting
the W2k server or restarting samba fixes the problem for awhile. Never
the same amount of time. Sometime it lasts days or weeks, other times
only a few hours.
