[Bug 462172] Re: [SRU] samba "Too many files are currently in use."

[Besterino]

@Martin:

Don't know exactly what you mean with "regression". Before installation
of the patch transfer speed of the 2GB file started at approx. 119MB/sec
and quickly dropped to approx 75-80MB/sec (and stayed there until the
file is copied). With the patch copying of the 2GB file still starts at
approx. 119MB/s and then quickly drops to 60-65MB/sec.

With a large number of rather small files (thousands of html-files
around 55kb), the speed goes down at some point to 3.6-5MB/sec after a
while. Did not pay attention to the exact time when, but I assume speed
goes down significantly when the open file limit is reached.

Read speeds with the 2GB file did not change (approx 50-55MB/sec - which
I consider a bit weird since lower than write speeds, but that's
probably a different story).

Some background info: I'm running the smb-share on a raid5 consisting of
4 consumer 1TB samsung HDD (spinning at 5400rpm). The raid is
exclusively used for hosting files for samba (and the FTP-server, which
was of course not used during testing).

Unfortunately I am away over the weekend but will do some more testing
next week. Happy to test different settings to narrow it down - just let
me know what I should try.
