Situation: - Copying GB of data via rsync or ftp: no problem - Mounting a test directory from the 1950 via NFS on the 1750 server and creating some files/directories: ok - Mounting a dir with many files via NFS (/var/tmp, 14000 php_sess): ok - Start a directory listing on it: immediate (network) crash of the NFS server. (reproduced 3 times) I don't have remote console display anymore (only power on/off), so I can only see the server going away from the network (not pingable anymore) at the moment, but it is most probably still working then. Only thing I found in /var/log/messages: Nov 6 23:09:44 gemini kernel: bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(5000): Watchdog timeout occurred, resetting!

Nov 6 23:10:49 gemini kernel: bce0: link state changed to DOWN Nov 6 23:10:51 gemini kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP What could/should I try next? The 1.18 version of if_bce.c ? (if the dell PE1950 is using the same NIC as the PE1955: cf. http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-stable@freebsd.org/msg83981.html ) Are there people around using a 1950 without any NIC problems? (tcp && udp). If yes, please tell me which cvs version of the driver you are using. Thanks & regards, Olivier
