ldterm: (ldtermrsrv/newmsg) out of block?

[Jong-Min Park]

What does the following mean? I had a sparc20 hang with those messages..
Rebooting worked okay except for 'some_host:/mount/point: unrecoverable
error' where 'some_host' is a host we mount to sparc20. The mount seems
to work though.

You're out of kernel memory. It's either a kernel memory leak or some
way-too-big tunables in /etc/system. If you've jacked up maxusers,
ufs_ninode, ncsize, or anything else like that in /etc/system, try
commenting it out. Also, try adding "set nrnode=1000" -- this stops
the NFS client caches from getting too big in 2.4 (there's a patch
but not everyone has it yet).

No. That message comes directly from the kernel.
