samba - Nov 2001 - Problem: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are available ??

Hi, I am new to this list, and am really stumped on this issue with my samba
servers. I woould really appreciate some help.

Question:
I am having the same type of issue. I was copping a huge set of files over
to my samba server, and now, neither server works.

Servers:
1) RH 7.1 running Samba, SSH, HTTPD
2) RH 7.1 running Samba, SSH, HTTPD

The file trasfer crashed due to lack of space on both machines, and when I
woke, neither server wants to be seen using any type of file sharing. After
clearing up the hard disk, because it dumped all the files I was copping
over into / after the dest. partition was full, I tried samba again. I am
getting the "requested 10000 open files, only 1014 available." error
in the
samba log. Under a port scan, it shows netbios-ssn working, so that's
available and there.

I made sure lokkit was set to no firewall, and then even uninstalled it.

Any ideas? I have been pounding away at this for 4 days now, and am going
insane.

Thanks,
-geoff

Exact Error:
[2001/11/20 01:12:04, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(215)
  file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are
available.

Geoff, I'm 99% sure this is not actually an error - it's just an 
informational message. If anyone else on the list knows otherwise, please 
let Geoff know. :)

Anthony.

don't apologize, I really appreciate the help.

I am running RedHat 7.1, I used to not like redhat, then went to some other
distros, and now I am back, but am thinking about running for the BSD or
slack hills and leaving redhat beind. I am really sick of redhat and
mandrake... and debian scares me. :)

Thanks for the help, ill let you know if I find anything else out.

adios
