samba - Dec 2000 - samba max open files

I am trying to get Samba to support 2+ gig files with a x86, 2.4.0test12 and
glibc2.1 recompiled against the 2.4 headers.  During configure I get the
following lines which leave me to believe that Samba doesn't support LFS on
a 32 bit cpu's.

"disabling large file support for glibc2.1 on Linux"

and then futher in the configure:

"checking if large file support can be enabled-no"

I have also tried compiling against glibc2.2, but it appears that samba is
checking for 2.1 during the configure.

Has anyone been able to get this to work?  Or can anyone confirm that this
doesn't work?

message is : smb/files c:file_init(216)
                file_init request 10000 open files  1014 available

Yep, the default maximum file handles per process is 1024.

To raise the maximum file hanles and open-inodes the kernel will accept:

echo "32768" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo "65536" > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max

somewhere in your startup.

To raise the number of handles per process,  run the below before starting
smbd/nmbd to let them have up to 10,000 file handles.

ulimit -Hn 10240
ulimit -Sn 10240

Such measures as the above are good tips on all Linux server machines, as it is
configured out of the box to run on a desktop class machine as a little
workstation.
