I'm not too surprised by this; the one case where I saw the lossage problem with the Cisco didn't show any errors on either side, yet there was 20% packet loss. I'm sure if I had been using NFS in that case that things would have sucked badly. >I might be able to get a hold of another 100 megabit switch, perhaps an >Intel, and we can see if the problem goes away or if it's the same.

I use Intel Pro/100B and 100+ cards in all of my machines here on a fast ether switch in full duplex with NFS. I've never had any problems. We also do the same with freefall/hub/etc. While we've had problems with NFS there when one of the machines goes down, I don't recall seeing any problems like you're having with selective processes wedging. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
