Broadcom NICs are known to flake out under Linux when experiencing high load.  
Try switching to an Intel Server NIC.

We have error in /var/log/messages on one of our most loaded SAN
servers:
kernel: iscsi_trgt: Logical Unit Reset (05) issued on tid:1 lun:0 by
sid:1971425271414848 (Function Complete)

As we discovered this error appears when Exchange heavily writes its
logs on target device.
We are still investigating disk loads on the server trying to figure out
if error are actually related to disk load.

rPath Linux 2.3

What else should we look into?

What kind of network cards are you using?

>lspci -v

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit 
Ethernet PCI Express (rev 21)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.: Unknown device 8149
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 220
Memory at ff7f0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data
Capabilities: [58] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/3 Enable+
Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint IRQ 0

We have other SANs servers with such cards, they work fine.

Roman Naumenko
