Subject: Slave buffer problem
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 1996 00:09:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19960714230919.zUjDdvfB2TGGHl1dwl8pSsl_P3tMsdbm736G0bDn_cg@z> (raw)

I have a little information on the problems I've been having of applications
mysteriously freezing up my system console and displaying the message "8
1/2: slave buffer: no free mount rpc buffer". There really does appear to be
a link between this problem and the error messages which a file system check
produces. Here's sample output from disk/kfs:

I've noticed, as an example, if a perl script of mine loads a module from
/386/lib/perl I get the failure. If the perl script loads a module from
/sys/lib/perl everything proceeds normally. Similar things appear to occur
for other programs doing some kind of access in these directories as well.
The normal file and directory commands (ls, cat, etc.) seem to work just
fine with these directories.
     Does this give rise to any new ideas, anyone?
