I applied the em-patch that was announced a few days ago to two
servers with an Intel em-gbit-nic resetting during load. It's only
been running for one day so I don't know whether my problem is gone.
But so far I haven't seen any regression. The servers are
connected to
a Dell-switch.
Doesn't fix the problem for me regrettably :( I can reproduce the
problem
within seconds of starting a large file transfers. I got the
ethernet card
from eBay but I've ordered a brand new one to try -- I wonder if
there's
any chance it could be faulty.
I often find that if I have a cable that is less than perfect the
card will seem to work but with some heavy load the switch takes the
port down and it stays down until I ifconfig down & up the interface.
In every instance replacing the cable takes care of the problem.
