CIFS connection problem after an unknown amount of time

[seraphon]

Hi

I ve got this habit to open an CIFS connection at the morning to open some files in Alfresco's repository, with dev+ to edit them. It works just fine. When I edit such a file with notepad++ I can directly see in Alfresco web UI that the changes have indeed occured in Alfresco's repository.

Now the problem is that at some time of the day, when I want to navigate in my Alfresco's repository using windows explorer and a CIFS connection I get the following error

Z:\is not accessible.

No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept

Is this a problem coming from tomcat? The message says there are too many connections but I m the only user of Alfresco right now!

I tried deconnecting the CIFS drive and then reconnect it but the problem persist. And Restarting the tomcat server and Alfresco is not really a solution… But The files that I opened in notepad++ are still editable and when I do some changes to those files and saves I can see in the web navigator the the change have been taken in account.

Can someone please help me resolve this problem?

Regards
Seraphon

Just suffered the same issue & found this thread looking for an answer. 
I'm running 2.1RC from the windows installer on my laptop (XP SP2).  I'm the only one accessing it, while I do some testing to verify it suits our needs.

At the time, I was doing a bulk copy of files using xcopy from the command prompt from an existing directory on our network into the alfresco repository.

Here's the output from those commands:

C:\>net use \\OC-Laptop-48_A\Alfresco
Local name
Remote name       \\OC-Laptop-48_A\alfresco
Resource type     Disk
Status            Disconnected
# Opens           3
# Connections     8
The command completed successfully.

Hi,

Thanks for the information, it doesn't look like it's socket connections that the client is complaining about.

How many files are you copying with xcopy ?.

Cheers

Hi

it may be useless but I confirm that the problems start when this message appear in the tomcat console:

### Excluding compile: org.alfresco.repo.search.impl.lucene.index.IndexInfo$Merger::mergeIndexes‍

Seems to me that it happens when I play with my custom webscripts. Maybe a problem from the lucene access?
I ll try to see if the problem occurs even when I m not using webscripts.

Regards
Seraphon

edit:the problem doesnt come from the webscript

Sorry, been off on leave.  I was attempting to copy around 20,000 files.  I'm afraid I can't remember how many I got through before it failed, but I'm happy to try again to quantify it if you'd like.

Cheers,
Michael

It still bits us hard, especially from the Terminal server…

Hi ,
any news from this problem?
we have the same problem in a customer, but we cannot replicate the error in our labs.

It's a really annoying error and it happens in the fifth pdf saved from a website.

[jbdev]

I have  seen the same problem.

Alfresco 2.1
CentOS 4.5
Tomcat with bundle
No Firewall ( internal network )

Client will be using WinXP sp2 and just paths

while using CIFS with paths, all of the sudden we get this error of to many connections.
