But, I just noticed something interesting- the box has been running fine for several days with multiple ssh connections, and several large remote data loads (by way of postgres copy on port 5432). However, I just installed webmin, set it up to run HTTPS on port 9090, and as soon as I tried to connect- got the error. It does that every subsequent time too. I will try the latest from 6-stable, but if you're thinking a big src download from ports is high network io, well, lets just say the datasets I'm copying around tend to dwarf the bsd source tree ;) (typically they're several gb per dataset). So if that's still a problem I may be jumping out of the proverbial frying pan and into the fire..

The 'error mapping mbuf' error seems to have been fixed by the latest set of changes to if_bce.c - after upgrading to the latest stable, that problem stopped happening. =20 However, instead of that, under rather higher load, we now get the watchdog timer error instead. This is not good :) I can get it within minutes with something like building something big from ports, during the initial source download. > However, the fact that I do get the error every now and then is still a > concern, so I plan to rebuild world and kernel when I get the chance. >=20 > Please keep us posted on your findings, and if it'd be useful to have > another box to run tests on, I'd be happy to give it a go. I think moving to stable will fix the mbuf error for you, as that's what others report. You, and all the other reports I've seen have been running amd64, which I haven't been (I didn't build the box originally). I'll know tommorow if amd64 makes much of a difference or not. Oh, other info - I'm running the standard SMP kernel config with no modifications.
