A firewire bus reset hogs the CPU for too long, more than 0.1 second, causing data to be lost. Disk and Ethernet activity (and probably all i/o) stop. Stopping Ethernet for too long causes data to be lost. Userland processes also don't run, but they have to expect that, it is the devices not getting serviced that I'm concerned about. >How-To-Repeat: Have some i/o going. fwcontrol -r observe that all i/o stops for 1/10 second >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
