>Number: 3502 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: Merge of if_ix* and if_ie* broke EE/16 support >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun May 4 23:40:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Wes Santee >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386 >Environment: P5-133; 128MB; Adaptec 2940 w/1GB SCSI, Plextor 12x CD-ROM, and Sony 920S 2x/2x CD-R; EE/16 network adaptor (leftovers from an old Win3.11 for Workstations package); IDE w/2GB IDE drive and Teac 8x ATAPI CD-ROM >Description: After the merge of if_ix* and if_ie* and many subsequent kernel compiles thereafter, any NFS write (e.g. file copy, file move) from the machine with the updated kernel hangs the process. Once the process hangs, doing anything on that NFS mount hangs the process (ls, umount, etc). I've tried this on two machines with EE/16 cards with the same result both times. In each case, going back to the old kernel solved the problem. As a side note, I was able to copy files of about 5KB or less over and the process didn't hang. Anything larger though causes the problem. >How-To-Repeat: 1) Compile a kernel w/EE16 support on a machine with an EE/16. 2) Install kernel. 3) Update sysconfig to use ie0 instead of ix0. 4) Reboot. 5) Mount a writable NFS drive and try copying a largish file to it. >Fix: Dunno. Could be something in NFS for all I know. Maybe try seperating if_ix* back out of if_ie* and see if the problem still happens. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
