Well before the file is copied, the process seems to go to sleep, and very little happens. The first message on the 386bsd console is /386bsd: mb_map full There are intermittent messages on the console to the effect that the nfs server is "not responding" and "is alive again". Any guidance/comments would be greatly appreciated.
