ocasionally (once or twice daily) I get hundreds of warnings during few seconds saying:
"RPC: Unable to allocate resbuf from cache!"

I've found in list archive suggestion to put more memory on server, but my machine has already 1GB of ram.

I run 2.4.18 + nfsall patches, 2 nfs filesystems of size 620GB and 420GB on top of reiserfs, 80% filled with small files (average size 25kb) - any hints?

thanks

Just disable the warning. The above should be harmless, since the NFS client will automatically retry.
