NFS Server: dell poweredge 1950, with the 1.2.2.6 version of if_bce.c: bce0: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B1), v0.9.6> mem 0xf4000000-0xf5ffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci9 bce0: ASIC ID 0x57081010; Revision (B1); PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz miibus0: <MII bus> on bce0 bce0: Ethernet address: 00:13:72:f8:6f:8c bce0: link state changed to UP
NFS Client: dell poweredge 1750, with : bge0: <Broadcom BCM5704C Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x2002> Both running an up-to-date setup of FreeBSD 6.1. Situation: - Copying GB of data via rsync or ftp: no problem - Mounting a test directory from the 1950 via NFS on the 1750 server and creating some files/directories: ok - Mounting a dir with many files via NFS (/var/tmp, 14000 php_sess): ok - Start a directory listing on it: immediate (network) crash of the NFS server. (reproduced 3 times) I don't have remote console display anymore (only power on/off), so I can only see the server going away from the network (not pingable anymore) at the moment, but it is most probably still working then. Only thing I found in /var/log/messages: Nov 6 23:09:44 gemini kernel: bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(5000): Watchdog timeout occurred, resetting! Nov 6 23:09:44 gemini kernel: bce0: link state changed to DOWN Nov 6 23:09:46 gemini kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP Nov 6 23:10:49 gemini kernel: bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(5000): Watchdog timeout occurred, resetting! Nov 6 23:10:49 gemini kernel: bce0: link state changed to DOWN Nov 6 23:10:51 gemini kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP What could/should I try next? The 1.18 version of if_bce.c ? (if the dell PE1950 is using the same NIC as the PE1955: cf. http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-stable@freebsd.org/msg83981.html ) Are there people around using a 1950 without any NIC problems? (tcp && udp). If yes, please tell me which cvs version of the driver you are using.
