RE: [cciug] Problem doing grep on large number of files

More than likely you do not have the mvfs options set correctly. You must have
# of cleartext nodes set to 800 in the CC control panel. If you look in the
samba logs I'll wager you see messages about being out of file control
structures, this is because NT likes to keep files open "just in case".
