Hi All; I'm having an issue with Samba and I'm wondering if anyone here can either help or point me in the right direction. Anyhow, I recently moved to Samba 2.2.6 (yes, I ought to upgrade further to the latest stable release), from 2.2.2, which ran on a different machine.
I have (at the moment) a single Windows 2000 server that connects to it. Every now and then, Samba will crash and the log shows 'Too many open files' - an 'lsof' shows this clearly. Now, my question is how do I configure Samba so that it'll kill off an inactive file handle after a set period of time? Hell, is this even possible? I did have a look at the 'deadtime' option and if my understanding is correct, this is only useful if the client machine didn't have any open files - and that's what gets reset, the connection itself, yes? A roll back to the old machine, and this problem appears non-existant. I'm also wondering if it may be Kernel related - both boxes do run different kernels, old one runs 2.4.17 and the new runs 2.4.19. I've been beating my head against a brick wall for the last couple of days, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. --Brent -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
