Might the two of you be using Marvell-based gigabit Ethernet cards and/or SysKonnect drivers? After I moved from the built-in Intel-based 100Mbps Ethernet jack on my MythTV frontend/backend to the D-Link DGE-560T--a PCI Express 1x gigabit Ethernet card, for which I had to download SysKonnect's own version of sk98lin--I found that I could consistently crash the system hard by using dd or mv to max out the traffic to my RAID 5 file server (which remained stable, and has always had gigabit Ethernet), regardless of jumbo frames. I have not seen this issue while simultaneously recording and playing back HD streams, but might well do so once I start recording more than one HD stream at once. I look forward to the core Linux kernel's own sk98lin or skge drivers supporting my card, hopefully soon. -- Yeechang Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +1 650 776 7763 | San Francisco CA US
