However, when I mounted a SUN disk on my 386BSD box as follows: ifconfig ... route ... mount -t nfs -o soft neuro:/home/neuro2 /home/neuro2 and then pressed the system quite hard: tar cvf xxx.tar /home/neuro2/merlin the kernel panics with 'panic: kmem-malloc: kmem-map too small' after only about half a megabyte is transferred. The system doesn't have a problem with editing individual files and/or something like: ls -lisaR /home/neuro/merlin where there are a couple of hundred megabytes and hundreds of files. Does anyone have any insight into or fix for this problem? Thanks, AJ
