Can Samba handle in the range of 1million to 3 millions concurrently open files? If so, then from which Samba version onwards? Does it have any benchmarking results on maximum number of open files that Samba can have concurrently? Any reply to this question is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance Santosh

I see nothing mentioned in de docs about bigger values, just that is need to be below 'unix limits'.... ;)

If you are using SMB1, the protocol has a 16-bit field for file IDs, this effectively limits the maximum number of files to 65536. In the real world it will be a bit less. With SMB2, there's no such limitation, but I don't know where people have pushed this so far.> Does it have any benchmarking results on maximum number of open files that > Samba can have concurrently?Not really. Do you have a bit more information about your workload, so that we can test this and lift limits?
