Heh. Funny you should say that -- as I just posted, I just found that
*MY* nVidia gigabit NIC appeared to be causing the problem. When I
switched the machine's connection to its other onboard NIC, which is a
Marvell Yukon PCI-E gigabit NIC, as a test (not expecting it to affect
anything), the problem vanished and the backup is now running perfectly
happily.
So the FD thought the SD was pulling the plug, and the SD thought the FD
had stopped sending data, and the real cause was that the NIC in between
was dropping the connection....
