Suse 9.1

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.

=20

I am trying to move 225 GB of files.

=20

Here is the Procedure:

=20

mount //guide/music /mnt/tmp -t cifs -o username=3D........

cp -av /mnt/tmp/Albums/* /music/mp3

=20

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?
