The problem still exists in ii linux-image-generic 2.6.31.14.27 Generic Linux kernel image
…and I just discovered that it is even worse than previously thought. The bug introduces silent data corruption. I was just trying to update my backup (this time over Ethernet instead of WLAN, because I added a lot of data) but it never remotely finished because SSH noticed a data corruption in the network transmission: debug1: Sending command: rsync --server --sender -vlHogDtprSe.iLs --numeric-ids . /mnt/image/ receiving incremental file list Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (55356 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.6] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 5 bytes to socket [generator]: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(1525) [generator=3.0.6] Of course, the problem disappeared after I deactivated gso. -- Broadcom BCM5906M ethernet adapter (tg3) hangs under heavy tcp load (bittorrent) when generic segmentation offload (gso) is in use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404708 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
