- The key question is: How did you recover from this? Did killing
- mount(8) restore the system to normal order or did you have to reboot?
- If you're low on process slots, tweak MAXUSERS and reconfigure.
-
- mount(8) probably gets the no more processes error when it tries
- to fork /usr/etc/mount_hsfs. Why does it do this? Well... ask Sun.
