Hi all,
We are in the process of converting a few of our key machines in our
lab to FreeBSD. We have encountered a number of problems:
[1] Two of our machines (say A and B) are dual interfaced (the -i
interfaces are 10BaseT and the -ii interfaces are 100BaseT):
A-i <---10BaseT---> B-i
A-ii <--100BaseT---> B-ii
When A and B talk over the 10BaseT interfaces, things are ok :)
When they use their 100BaseT interfaces, thing are not ok :(
With large NFS transfers, the client seems to hang. With
smaller transfers, some threshold related messages are syslog'ed
yet the transfer appears to complete.
[2] Bringing an interface down and then up does not seem to work. Also,
if a network cable is disconnected for a second and then reconnected
immediately, the associated interface cannot be used (again bringing
it down and then up does not work).
[3] For someone who has been spoiled by the LDP and all related printed
material, are there any FreeBSD administration books out there?
Thanks in advance.
