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

** Description changed:

  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
+ number of files open 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.
