You might need to take a look at the server, but I think I recall seeing
similar symptoms when I created /tmp as a swap-backed md-resident file
system with the default inode density and /tmp didn't actually become
"full," but ran out of inodes during a period of heavy (for that
environment) usage.

Adjusting the tmpmfs_flags specification in /etc/rc.conf (for the CVS
server) to say 'tmpmfs_flags="-i1024 -o async -S"', then re-creating
/tmp  alleviated the pain.

Peace,

I submit that "conspiracy" would be an appropriate collective noun for cats.
