Yes, but igb(4) isn't used as VF (SR-IOV), but via VT-d.
Like mentioned, the setup never showed any unexpected errors and has
been reliably withstanding single-component-failures as designed for
more than one year.
But now the watchdog timeout leaves one igb(4) nic in unoperational
state, but lagg(4) doesn't notice that there's a problem with that nic :-=
(
I think a watchdog reset should bring if_igb down and only up again if
it's confirmed that the reset succeeded and the nic is operational again.=


Or lagg(0) would need to do some line testing. It's done with LACP, but
in that environment I don't have LACP stackable available. So I'm left
with l2hash=85

Regarding the timeout, I think I found the solution =96 but it's not
evident yet. Besides the FreeBSD update from 9.1 to 10.1 (-stable) I
noticed that the VT-d routing changed. So I spread the PCI-slot numbers
differently to make igb0 share it's virtual APIC line with some other
cards. No more watchdog timeout until now=85

Thanks,

-Harry
