I've got a little web server. I'm seperating the 'server' from the data by having the data available to the server over a Samba share. Good thinking? Maybe. Until I find that the busy little server is ramping up the open files. Quickly! So to flush these 'open' you'd expect a server to close the open request. (Terminology may differ with granularity of knowledge). The server does not appear to quickly close these files. Leading to a slow-then-halt of the server. Is this some sort of 'cache' behaviour? Is there something I can do at the NT or Samba end to reduce this effect? Regards, MarkT
