Memory problems

I am receiving the following errors when doing bulk disk copying on Netware 3.12:

cache memory allocator out of available memory
and
Error expanding filesever/APPS directory because no more memory is
available for tables
and
Insufficient directory space (or memory) to preserve file_name during file
erase
(even though we are copying to the server and not actually deleting
anything)


We are running Netware 3.12 on a Pentium 166 PCI with 128 mb ram and roughly a 4 gb hard. It crashed last week. We got the new disks. I formatted them and installed our old SYS directory. Now, when I try to copy  (from a backup hard disk attached to the network on a workstation) I receive an error saying that I have run out of memory.  I use the register memory 1000000 7000000 command. I realize this is probably easy but any help is greatly appreciated.

You could try setting imediate purge on - might be a problem with salvage and the number of files you are copying.
Also, <scratches head> cant remember - getting old - there is a setting for directory entries/buffers/tables in the set command to allow you to setup more space for dir/file tables. use set at the console and check out file/directories settings in the displayed command lists. Other question - were you running any name space on the old volume and have you set that up on the new volume ?
Try to change the Dirty Disk Cache Delay Time parameter to be lowwer.

and try to change the Minmum File Cache Buffers parameter to be higher.
