Somebody else a couple of weeks ago was having similar issues running bonding with skge (in 802.3ad mode, in his case) that also vanished with different hardware. I don't have any skge hardware, so I can't test it here. His problem was a failure in 802.3ad negotiation, not a system lockup, though. If you're running active-backup and not using the ARP monitor (arp_interval), then I'm not aware of any possible locking problems in bonding for the kernel version you reference (2.6.20.1). >1) ip link set mtu 9000 eth2 <-- eth2 is no longer responsive > ip link set mtu 1500 eth2 <-- eth2 remains unresponsive > >2) ifup eth2 > ifdown eth2 > > perl -pi -e 's/eth2/eth3/' /etc/network/interfaces > > ifup eth3 <-- locks up here This would seem to suggest a problem with skge itself, although there might be some other interaction with bonding that causes the problems for that case. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
