Hi all

I've sent a message two days ago with "Disappointed" subject.

Many of you answer me I don't have describe the bug.

Well, first my english is very bad, and second I don't blame anyone, never
the developper. Personnaly I'm very impresse by the work you doing.

Now a fine description of my problem.

Hardware :

	HP Proliant ML 350 G4
	2 x Xeon 3.2 Ghz (HT disable)
	1 Go Ram
	1 bge network interface on mothercard
	1 dual 1000Mbits/s (em chipset)
	1 dual 100Mbits/s (fxp chipset)
	1 Internal 641 Smart Array with 2 Hotplug disk in raid 1
	1 MSA1000 with 14 disk on fiber channel attachement

Situation :

	On every network card we have different IP subnet
	
	Every network card have he's owne IP address

	All interface is connected on Foundry 1000 Mbits/s switch L2


Purpose :

	It's central nfs server (NetApp for «small» budget...), the server
	run a dhcpd server and that's all. 

	There are no user account on this server.

	The server is not routed on Internet. 

	The nfs is bind on 3 of 5 IP number (the 2 other is just running
	ssh for scp)

	There are 13 nfs clients running Linux (different version of
	kernel)

	There are also 4 nfs clients running FreeBSD (different version but
	all > 5.2 and < 5.5)


In the time :

	The 6-stable is installed on the server on begin of February 2006

Problems :
	

First time :

	Kernel : SMP+ipfw

	In first time the «main» nfsd is bind on the bge0 interface
	(main=90% nfs traffic)

	After 10-15 days of perfect running, the bge0 don't work, but the
	other interface working perfectly. The server is up and the other
	nfs clients can acces without problem the nfs partition. I can
	logon the console. And I've try many
		ifconfig bge0 down
		ifconfig bge up
		ifconfig bge0 delete
		etc...
	nothing work

	On the console the are repeatly message like

		bge0 watchdog timeout problems
		bge0 watchdog timeout problems

	Only (for me) reboot can make the system re-work. And after reboot
	everything work fine.

	But after some days the problem is come again. And in this second case all
	interfaces don't work. But the I always can logon in the console.
	But the reboot is not clean (I need to make a big fsck)

Second time :

	Kernel : NO_SMP +ipfw

	After some advice on this mailing-list I switch to mono-proc
	version of the kernel.

	This time after some days working fine the bge0 don't work again
	(same condition of first time)

third time :

	Kernel : NO_SMP + ipfw

	I switch the main nfs(=90% of traffic) interface to em0 and put a
	not running nfs (only scp) ip number on the bge0.

	Again after some days the .... em0 interface don't work. And this
	time the message on console is
		em0 watchdog timeout problems

	sometime I have fxpX watchdog timeout problem too

forth time :

	Kernel : NO_SMP + polling + ipfw

	Now I'm running all interface in polling mode. And...I hope it's
	work...(running from 2 days).

Information :

	I can't tell if it's during heavy nfs load, but I really don't
	think. There are on crash during saturday (and we don't have many
	users in this day).

	I cannot reproduce this bug. I've try to make a big nfs access (on
	4 linux clients I'm running in same time something like

		find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \;

	but he won't crash. In this partition there are 30 Go. 

I forget to tell I'm running a very close configuration (a old ML350G3 with
same MSA1000 in same condition) with 4.x during 4 years without any crash
(with the same clients etc...)

In attachement the dmesg just after the server boot.

Next Monday I switch to DB kernel but now I just can reboot the server (600
users).

I hope that's can help you to make FreeBSD better than best OS ;-) .

Lots of thanks.
