Binary package hint: samba
When copying a directory with a good amount of files (> 1,000) to a Samba share from a Windows 7 client, I get the error "Too many files are currently in use.". This only happens on Ubuntu Server 9.10 (Samba 3.4.0) . I have tested on Ubuntu 9.04 (Samba 3.2.0) and the copy was successful.
While copying the files, I ran watch 'sudo lsof | grep smb | wc -l' and noticed that whenever the number of files open reaches somewhere between 1,200 and 1,300 I receive the error. If I wait a couple of seconds, the number of open files drop down significantly and I am able to choose "Try Again" on the error dialog, but once the number of files open climbs back up, the error reappears.
I am filling this as a bug because the copying of files works on a fresh install of 9.04, but fails on 9.10.
