Hi samba team,

I my log I have sometimes this message : 
smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_setup(283)  Failed to init inotify - Trop de 
fichiers ouverts : 2661 Time(s)

Informations : 
Samba 3.2.4 (ldap backend and acl support)
Redhat Enterprise Linux  5.1 (data on XFS FS)

What's means ?
Thanks

Stephane Purnelle

While I don't speak french I assume that this error message
means something along the lines "too many files open" or so.
If this is the case, you might want to increase the values
in /proc/sys/fs/inotify/*
