Same problem here when using nfs or large ftp xfers. I suspect it is a driver issue as the cards work fine under Win32. As a workaround I mount nfs with the "-r=1024" switch, see "man mount_nfs". This is stable enough for running "make installworld" via nfs and the like here. As a solution I placed the vr card on the public interface (less throughput) with the intention of junking the vr cards later. Do tell if you come up with something more elegant. -- Robin Damm <robin@damm.ca> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
