There is no reason that you need to use a memcache.  Indeed, the
memcache _might_ be a part of your problem.  Can you try using a disk
cache?  Considering /vicepa != / (or at least it shouldn't be the
root) you wont be eating into your server space if you have a small
disk cache.

Ok, that should be sufficient. :)

Are you sure?  Can you check 'dmesg' and see what AFS had to say
about the memcache?

Can you try with a small number, like 1000, first?  I seem to recall
some magic with the mem-cache and sizes.  Again, check 'dmesg' and see
what it said about the amount of allocated space.

Or just try with a disk cache.
