Advfs clone running out of memory?

I have a problem with my advfs clones becoming corrupt/invalid on a
Tru64 5.1A system.

I get a message some 25 minutes after creating the clone saying:

WARNING: AdvFS cannot copy-on-write data to a clone file.
WARNING: encountered the following error: ENO_MORE_MEMORY (-1054)
WARNING: do not continue using the clone fileset.
WARNING: original file set: name = data, id =

WARNING: clone file set: name = data_clone, id =

I could understand ENO_MORE_BLOCKS, but there is tons of free space,
over 60%. I have 8Gb of RAM only 4Gb of which is in use.

I have just upgraded from 5.1 to 5.1A patchkit 5 if that helps.

The partition is on a Compaq SAN storing Oracle tables.

Any suggestions most welcome, I will of course summarise any answers.

Thanks,
Dave
