Hi! I have both a APU1 and a APU2 working together with CARP as my firewall. Since sometime in the summer, whenever I have high network traffic the APU2 is having trouble. The whole machine goes into a slow-working mode, so slow that it won't get any new lease from my ISPs dhcp server.
This does not happen on the APU1. I've been running snapshots on both. 7.2 did not seem to have this problem. The APU2 have this: em0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Intel I210" rev 0x03: msi, address 00:0d:b9:41:6f:c8 em1 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel I210" rev 0x03: msi, address 00:0d:b9:41:6f:c9 em2 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 "Intel I210" rev 0x03: msi, address 00:0d:b9:41:6f:ca While APU1 have this: re0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Realtek 8168" rev 0x06: RTL8168E/8111E (0x2c00), msi, address 00:0d:b9:34:0e:ac re1 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Realtek 8168" rev 0x06: RTL8168E/8111E (0x2c00), msi, address 00:0d:b9:34:0e:ad re2 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 "Realtek 8168" rev 0x06: RTL8168E/8111E (0x2c00), msi, address 00:0d:b9:41:6f:ca My guess is that there's so much interrupt happening that the APU2 goes into a stand-still. I can still log into it with ssh (one character pr second) when this happens, and the machine does not crash. Anything I can do here, other than buying beefier hardware?
