Shalom Srinu,

A search on this has provided me few results.

I suspect perhaps the problem is on the server being automounted, not this system.

Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log or equivalent on the target system for further errors. Check /etc/mnttab exists and permissions are normal.

Last year we have had messages from the automounter about out of space because there have been memory leaks.
Do you have the latest patch?
Are you running autofs instead of the obsolete automounter?

btc6n004 is the NetApp filer.some of filesystems are automounted from the NetApp(btc6n004) filer.this might be the problem?.

Yes, that's how it worked for us, until it runs out of memory again. If there are patches available you probably need them.
