When I mount a share locally and begin copying files The system Begins
to use a lot of memory, there is 512 MB of ram in the machine and after
copying about 10GB of files, the machine just stalls.
I am trying to move 225 GB of files.
Here is the Procedure:
mount //guide/music /mnt/tmp -t cifs -o username=........
cp -av /mnt/tmp/Albums/* /music/mp3
This works for about three to ten minutes, and the memory usage goes to
2GB fills up the swap file and chokes; Anybody got any ideas?

I have not produced a patch to go from 2.6.4 to current version of cifs vfs but there are only two to three minor global kernel changes that would have to be changed so it is doable.
