Wow, I can't believe this topic continues... Yes, I am entirely confident now saying it was the fault of the bcom card. However, if you recall, people who started with bcom firmware v4.x were stable, then they upgraded to v5.x and became unstable, so they downgraded and returned to stable. Unfortunately for me, I have an R710, which shipped with v5 factory installed, and there was no option to downgrade... But a few days ago, Dell released a new firmware upgrade, from version 5.x to 4.x. That's right. The new firmware is a downgrade to 4. I am going to remove my intel add-on card, and resume using my integrated broadcom nic. I am quite certain the system will continue to be stable, and at last we can call this issue resolved permanently. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
