Topic: Increasing Max Open Files in Samba

[Craig]

I believe that the standard Samba 'maxopenfiles' is set to 246. How do I increase this amount to say 500?

Can some one confirm that opportunistic locking is turned off by default in SME v5.0 for all IBays?

I am running a default SME v5.0 install with the standard Samba 2.0.10 that comes by default.

I am having some intermittent problems with a Paradox application that is running from an IBay and the supplier has asked me to check these.

No, the default is 10,000, but is dependant on the system arch, ie. what does ulimit -a tell you....

Yes, see your smbd configuration file to verify yourself. ie. grep oplocks /etc/smb.conf

Thanks for the info.

I was reading some info on Samba last night and I am aware that maxopenfiles are 10,000 by default. The documentation seemed to imply that this value is set to 246 as 10,000 is a bit extreme. I was just checking on the defaults for SME v5.0.

The output of ulimit -a showed me everything I needed to know.

Oplocks is set to false which is great.

Thanks for your help.
