All,

I'm seeing some patterns here with all of the network driver problem reports, but I need more information to help narrow it down further.
I ask all of you who are having problems to take a minute to fill
out this survey and return it to Kris Kennaway (on cc:) and myself.
Thanks.

1. Are you experiencing network hangs and/or "timeout" messages on the console? If yes, please provide a _brief_ description of the problem.
OK, next question, to all em users:

If your em device is using a shared interrupt, and you are NOT
experiencing timeout problems when using this device, please let me
know:

dalki# vmstat -i

So far all of the em problems I have seen involve shared interrupts,
and conversely all em systems I have seen that do not have timeout
problems are not shared.

And so looks mine, FreeBSD 6.2-PRE/AMD64,
high I/O on disks and I/O on net renders this box unusuable ...

You don't appear to be using the em driver.  Can you confirm?

Kris

positive.
