I'm having poor luck trying to use NFS over a gigabit ethernet using jumbo frames. By all indications, my switch (Netgear GS608) forwards jumbo frames with no difficulty, but my Realtek 8169-based cards seem unreceptive to the idea, giving many watchdog timeouts and other obscure log messages. One server is amd64 and my clients are i386, but I think I've ruled that out as the problem because I see errors evern with an i386 server. So I strongly suspect my network cards at the moment. What gigabit ethernet cards do you use for reliable performance with jumbo frames? -- George Mitchell
