Ok, well it seems there is a problem with mmap and mapping files on NFS drives under older versions of linux. So is the server involved linux?
Obviously I can see a 3.8.21 series VM being generated tomorrow...

No the system is locked for a long time, after ~20 minutes I have rebooted the machine. After the reboot the image size was ~32k.

Ok, you are saying during the duration of the save, the system locks.
But after the save completes and your image is saved to the network disk, then you get control back?

I have just tried the new Mac OS X VM (Squeak 3.8.20beta1U) and have noted that when saving image located on an nfs mount, all the system is blocked probably on a network lock. When saving image located on a local disk all seem ok. When using Mac OS X VM (Squeak 3.8.18beta4U) and saving image located on an nfs mount, it's ok.
My system:
- Mac OS X 10.4.11
- Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5
