Or at least make it non fatal.
OK here's the story; I'm experimenting with a multiport NIC (re(4))
as we hope to start using multiport 10G NICs.
Any of the re's we've used in the past have been very stable, which
is why I picked the one I did for this experiment. This one has been
performing rock solid for some 4 to 6 mos, under full time use. That
is until the last week. Where we're seeing:
watchdog timeout
repeated frequently. Which is ultimately fatal. ifconfig up/down will
not resuscitate it. Nor will service ifconfig restart, or plugging/
unplugging the cable(s). Bouncing the server is the only cure. Which
is unacceptable. Any, and All suggestions, or insight into the matter
GREATLY appreciated. Note; while this is an old 11.1, we're not planning
to up this box until we can confirm this can be cured. :)
