I've been following this on the Dell list as I have approx. 50 R410s in our cluster. One thing that isn't clear-- When this happens, do you lose all connectivity to the node (i.e., do you have to reboot the node to re-establish eth0)? My R410s are running CentOS 5.2 - 5.4 and I rarely have one go down. --- Cris -- Cristopher J.
