https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/error-message-in-var-log-log-smb/m-p/2497693#M90490 This is basically an informational message.<BR /><BR />Samba is built with the ability to hold a very large number of files open. During start-up it determines the number of files that can be opened, and generates this message.<BR /><BR />If you expect more than 1014 files to be open at a time, then you can alter the ulimit before starting samba. It looks like you have a ulimit of 1024 files of which 10 are used to run samba.
