Is this per connection? How many clients connect to that system? If you are using SMB1, the protocol has a 16-bit field for file IDs, this effectively limits the maximum number of files to 65536. In the real world it will be a bit less. With SMB2, there's no such limitation, but I don't know where people have pushed this so far. > Does it have any benchmarking results on maximum number of open files that > Samba can have concurrently? Not really. Do you have a bit more information about your workload, so that we can test this and lift limits?
