We are running Todd Brunhoff's remote file system (RFS) code on our 4.2 BSD VAXen. I should also mention that we are also running CHAOS net on our system as well. It seems that certain operations cause the system to permanently allocate an mbuf for data and never give it up. This can be made to happen under the two following circumstances: % cd /REMOTESYS/a/b/c; tar x or % ls > /REMOTESYS/a/b/c In the case of the tar extraction, it is very easy to completely run out of mbufs in short order causing the system to eventually crash. The other cases (shell output redirection) lose mbufs so slowly that you can go for many weeks before running out. Has anyone else had this experience? Are any fixes known other than the ones distributed by Todd? Has anyone else sucessfully run CHOAS net and this software at the same time? Thanks in advance for any information.
