[ I posted this to comp.unix.tru64 but this list seems to be
 a much better and faster resource. TIA. ]

Our 2 cpu DS20E is quite busy running calculations, but is not swapping.
Other workstations and servers is now and then claiming
    NFS3 server hox not responding still trying

I can't really seen any reason for this, but on the other hand
I'm not sure exactly what the load and swapping is like under
this circumstances.
In /var/adm/messages there is a lot of these:
 
Dec 9 15:43:46 hox vmunix: ee0: Transmit ring is full
Dec 9 16:42:04 hox vmunix: ee0: Receiver Not Ready interrupt
Dec 9 16:42:08 hox last message repeated 4 times
Dec 9 16:44:12 hox last message repeated 3 times
Dec 9 16:53:14 hox last message repeated 3 times
Dec 9 17:03:57 hox last message repeated 6 times
Dec 9 17:14:39 hox last message repeated 5 times
Dec 9 17:24:42 hox last message repeated 7 times
Dec 9 17:39:37 hox vmunix: ee0: Receiver Not Ready interrupt
 
hox /# uptime

hox /# swapon -s

Total swap allocation:

    Available space: 393215 pages ( 99%)
 
I have tried to search http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/ and Google,
but my hits there are not addressing any solution to this.

The system is not patched. Mainly because PK3 claimed there were a
problem with the kit and the fortran compiler.
(I thought I'd kept the message but doesn't seem to find it right now)
