I've just built a 227R system. I think I'm running into bugs, but I'm not sure I have anything conclusive yet. System: CPU PII 350 MB Intel SE440BX RAM 128MB PC100 SDRAM DISK SEAGATE 4GB UW SCSI DC Adaptec 2940UW ETHER Intel pro100B VGA Mach32-based The ethernet is connected at 100meg full duplex. Anyway, I installed 227R on in the other day. I've noticed some serious 'net lag problems. Same-logical-network connectivity pauses frequently. Remote Xserving experiences it, telnet does, and so does ftp (horribly!). I also noticed that a ping -f localhost was getting me all of 40 packets/ second. Ouch! I tried a ping binary from a 226R machine, and I got a much more normal rate (ie 5000 packets/second). I have other 226R machines that run w/out problems (I've tried the 227R machine with an identical DE450 that the 226R machine has and uses w/out problems). I've tried all the various things to try when debugging an issue like that. At this point, I think it's either a bad motherboard (unlikely) or a 227R problem. I haven't figured out the 'net connectivity issue yet, but ping seems to have a bug in it or perhaps the library it's using has a bug in it that would explain the lag in all the other net-related programs or something.. I will probably be installing 226R to see if that fixes anything. BTW, is this a known issue? :) -= Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
