Re: Maximum number of mounts

2002-09-07 Thread Steven French


OS/2 did not have the 10 concurrent connection limit although it did have
configuration options (in IBMLAN.INI) for maxsessions (one per uid that the
server gave out) and maxconnections (one per tid that the server gave out)
as well as a parm that controlled the maximum connections (tids) per
client.  All of these parms can be easily be raised but none of them are
likely to be your problem.

If the failure is from a single Linux workstation you may have hit the
maximum deviceless mount limit in 2.4 based kernels (this would not affect
smbclient and it is not clear whether you are using smbclient or smbfs from
your note).Prior to Linux 2.5 each mount of a network device (and some
other special purpose devices) took up one of only 255 "deviceless" mount
numbers - it is fairly easy to run out if you are running multiple network
filesystems but this would be clearly visible when you type "mount" and see
about 250 mounts that have no associated local device.

I think you are mounting against a workstation.
Keep in mind microsoft permit only 10 concurrent access to their
workstation OS

I think you are mounting against a workstation.
Keep in mind microsoft permit only 10 concurrent access to their
workstation OS, if you need more you must buy a server OS and licenses
if you have more than 5 clients.

Simo.

Maximum number of mounts ?

2002-09-06 Thread root



I'm currently using Samba 2.2.5-pre1 on a Mandrake 8.1 system with kernel 
2.4.19-8.  I need to mount 15 remote filesystems.  I can manage 9.  Is there 
some kind of configuration option I need to set, or have I found a bug?

It _almost_ works.   On 3 of the mounts during linux boot, I get the error 
'ERRSRV ERRnoresource'.  The mounts that fail are on the same system as 5 
other mounts that work fine, so it's neither the LAN nor the client 
configuration.  Permissions are also correct (All of the shares are 
configured identically).  The mountpoint directories exist.

I turned debug up to 5, but I don't see anything that looks like the problem. 
My guess (and that's ALL it is) based on the error message, is that I've got 
some kind of resource exhaust.  How do I increase whatever it is that's 
failing? 

I went thru the 'Samba Administrators Handbook' and I don't see any options 
that look applicable.  (I did try increasing the shared mem size - no change).
All of the servers are OS/2, if it matters.

TIA!
