    It's a warning, you can safely ignore it. Windows 7 clients need to
    have exactly the same number of open handles available as Windows
    servers, else it fails in some file copy situations with a "out of
    handles" message. Samba has taken care of it for you, but it's just
    letting you know your fd limit is set a bit low.

    It's not an issue that needs to be fixed.

    It worked for me.
    This worked for me as well thank you!

    Note: the reboot isn't necessary, just log out and log back in.

    to apply the setting to root you need to add the following line in /etc/security/limits.conf
    ----------
    root - nofile 16384
    ----------
    reboot, and then test with ulimit -a | grep "open files"
    below setting only applies to normal users:
    ----------
    * - nofile 16384
    ----------

    Jeremy is Jeremy Allison, one of the developers of Samba so you'd think his comments would carry some weight. I mean if he doesn't know how it works then we should all start using NFS.
