There are max. 20 Filesystems mounted on the AIX Machine (1GB RAM, 4GB Swap space and no applications running while I have tested the NFS). But I have the same problem on all AIX machines with different configurations (for example also on a new Power3-II HighNode with 8 CPUs, 8GB RAM and about 20GB pagingspace, AIX 4.3.3 and maintenance level 04). > Each mount will buffer a certain amount in memory.

It dasn't work with a CD-ROM Mount from a Linux Machine, but I can mount the same CD-ROM and many other JFS Filesystems from another AIX Machine (and these filesystems are much bigger (up to 100GB/fs)) or many other ext2 filesystems from the Linux machine (up to 40GB/fs) without any troubles. Thanks for the quick reaction. Jarek
