1 <samba:parameter name="max open files"
4 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
6 <para>This parameter limits the maximum number of
7 open files that one <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
8 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> file
9 serving process may have open for a client at any one time.
10 This parameter can be set very high (16384) as Samba uses
11 only one bit per unopened file. Setting this parameter lower than
12 16384 will cause Samba to complain and set this value back to
13 the minimum of 16384, as Windows 7 depends on this number of
14 open file handles being available.</para>
16 <para>The limit of the number of open files is usually set
17 by the UNIX per-process file descriptor limit rather than
18 this parameter so you should never need to touch this parameter.</para>
21 <value type="default">16384</value>
