Hi, We have a new machine that is about to become a firewall. For now this machine is running but idle, that is, it has no services running but sshd, and no default route. The machine has been up for about 20 days, wihtout doing anything. However 3 messages has been logged : Feb 5 14:30:18 blade /kernel: dc3: TX underrun -- increasing TX threshold Feb 5 14:58:33 blade /kernel: dc3: TX underrun -- increasing TX threshold Feb 19 09:38:39 blade /kernel: dc3: TX underrun -- increasing TX threshold What do these message mean ? Is there a hardware problem ? The machine has never been tested in real use (that is, with any network traffic), so we don't know if this problem may freeze or crash the machine with heavy real traffic, and we can't afford to test that).
