Dear All, I am stuck with a machine that shows serious packet loss (about 1% of all traffic is dropped). I tried the obvious (new network cable, different switch port, different ethernet interface on the machine), but the problems remain. Another machine that sits in the same rack and is hooked up to the same switch shows no such packet loss issues. The problematic machine is a dual Opteron with FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE from Thu Aug 11 14:05:47 CEST 2011. The machine is lightly loaded. A MySQL slave is running, but the machine is not serving queries. Plus a Munin server process. I am at a loss where to start diagnosing this. Can you advise me where to look? Are there network buffers that may be overflowing? -- Kees Jan http://java-monitor.com/ kjkoster@kjkoster.org +31651838192 Change is good. Granted, it is good in retrospect, but change is good.home | help
