     In this case, it's our fault, not sambas.

     Essentially, FreeMiNT only supports a maximum of 32 file handles.
     And samba reserves 20
     for it's own internal use with the tdb files. That leaves us 12.
     Reduce that by the traditional
     stdin/stdout/stderr, and we're left with 9. Not very many by
     todays standards.

     I've got some in-progress patches to bump that to 128. Although we
     could go higher later.


Does this mean Fselect() will be able to handle this as well? IIRC
the current mintlib implementation of Select() doesn't even use
Fselect(), but rather does Poll() on every handle (inefficient?).


No, just poll. select for now will stay with 32.


Although having said that. I could look at select later and see what we
can do.

Alan,

Did you question mintlib performance recently ?
Maybe. Only on the basis of what Helmut said, but without profiling it's all up in the air.
