Allowed Number of CIFS Connections

cyber-wizard — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:42:14 GMT

Hi All;I've been experiencing a problem where a few users seem to be running out of connections to our Alfresco CIFS share. We're running Community 2.1 on SLED 10 and have been running it for several months quite happily. We're using NTLM authentication for both web access as well as CIFS and apart

Hi Cyber-Wizard,

have you found a solution yet?

We are also running into the same error (XPSP3, Alfresco community 2.1 on Ubuntu 8.0.4) on all machines here.

No the solution never did present itself. I'm not certain if the user just stopped posting so many files at a time, or if the problem cleared up on it's own. I haven't heard anything about it from any of my users since a few days after posting the issue(and I haven't really gone looking for it either).

OK, I think the problem was that M$ has lowered the number of concurrent TCP/IP connection in SP2 & SP3 to 10 for some strange reason.
I've used this patch http://hwrms.com/blog/?p=17 to increase the number to 800.
It looks like it is working now.
