Had the same problem described above (copying folder with 77k files from windows 7 64Bit to ubuntu 9.10 server ended quickly in error message "too many files open...").
Installed the -proposed package manually (sudo aptitude install samba /karmik-proposed). After samba restart copying same folder works without interruption (windows error message that is). I do notice a performance drop though. Where before the installation of the samba -proposed package I could copy a 2GB file at approx. 75-80MB/s to the samba share, the speed is now down to 60-65MB/s. -- [SRU] samba "Too many files are currently in use." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
