If you run a script on the windows box locally to create and delete all these directories then, does the paged pool also get used up? (I should imagine that if nothing else springs to mind, using cygwin to give you a familiar scripting language would be workable.) I don't have a W2003 box to try this on, but wonder about the local case, and the case of another windows client doing the same thing. Do you suppose some lock on the directory is being taken out and not removed (and not recognized when the directory is recreated)? Glenn Everhart
Indeed, I did transmogrify the shell script to run in Windows as a batch file (.bat): ------------cut here----------------------- @echo off REM winblast V3 - DoS on WinXP, Win2003Srv REM 2003-12-04 Steve Ladjabi, Daniel Kabs cd K:\sharedfolder if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto exit0 set count=0 REM using 'pathcount' directories set pathcount=1000 echo running 'winblast v3' with %pathcount% files in loop ... :START set /a p=pathcount*2-1 set /a stop=pathcount-1 :LOOP set dirname="wbst%p%" REM delete old directory if it exists if exist %dirname% rmdir %dirname% REM generating directory and exit on any error mkdir %dirname% if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto exit1 set /a p=p-1 set /a count=count+1 if not "%p%" == "%stop%" goto LOOP echo %count% directories generated ... goto START :exit0 echo Abort. Could not open target directory. goto ende :exit1 echo Abort. Could not create directory: %dirname% :ende ------------cut here----------------------- Running this script on a Windows box that had a shared folder mounted (e.g. W2k Prof.) did not adversely affect memory consumption on the server. Thus I think this problem is related to the SMB protocol dialect "spoken" by the Samba software (smbclient).
