Nblade.cifsMaxWatchesPerTree

Severity

ERROR

Description

This message occurs when the total number of directory watch (Change Notify) requests exceed the per-tree limit. This request and any further directory watch requests are denied. This typically indicates abnormal client behavior.

Corrective Action

Inspect the application using the connection and also monitor the other applications on the client. The client might be operating incorrectly due to a faulty application running on it. Rebooting the client might also be helpful. In some cases, clients are operating as expected but require a higher threshold, which can be set using the (privilege: advanced) "cifs option modify -max-watches-set-per-tree" command.

Syslog Message

Received too many Change Notify requests on one tree: clientIP:port %s:%d, directory "%s" on share "%s", vserver: "%s".

Parameters

IpAddress (STRING): IP address of the client requesting Change Notify functionality.
port (INT): Port number of the client from which the TCP connection has been established.
dirPath (STRING): Path of the directory on which Change Notify is requested.
shareName (STRING): Name of the share that holds the directory.
vserverName (STRING): Vserver associated with this operation.
