When I set up the systems, I did go through the procedure on page 2-3 of the A/UX Release Notes for a 4mb system (increse NBUF,NINODE, and NFILE). According to the kconfig man page (on-line), you should start allocating using the formula (8192*#nfs_daemons)/240 which gives for our system 136. ??? According to 'kconfig -a' we have 500 allocated. I'll try increasing it to 800 and see if that helps any.
