Folks,

I was having the following two problems on my NetBSD/pmax 1.3.1 file
server:

These seem to have been fixed by adding the following two lines to my
kernel config file:

	options         "NKMEMCLUSTERS=3072"    # 4K pages in kernel malloc pool
	options         "NMBCLUSTERS=6144"      # extra mbuf clusters

Simon.
