I am seeing a rather annoying problem with mb_map full messages.

Early in the morning my machine does lots of AFS stuff (mirroring a local
tree into AFS and copying some stuff from AFS land) and recently I have
been getting messages like

in my syslog.

When the machine is in this state it is completely catatonic...  It can't
respond to a thing.

I have increased NMBCLUSTERS to 512 in my config file.  This should "fix"
this, right?
