Um, no... the problem persists. My machine is a single AMD Athlon Processor (32 bit of course!). It was happening with Hardy Heron, and before that with Gutsy Gibbon, and now of course with yesterday's upgrade to Intrepid Ibex. The kernel I'm running is (from uname -a):
Linux MythTVServer 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux My machine drops the network connection to the world when transferring large files, I can make it happen in 2 or 3 seconds by trying to copy a large number of mp3s from a Windows share to the Ubunutu server through Samba. It can also happen, as a user stated above, by lots of network connections of little bandwidth when using MythTV. (This failure's occurance is unpredictable, and the server can last for weeks with no problems before the remote frontend complains about not seeing the backend anymore.) I am using quality Netgear pro Gigabit switches. (The nice metal ones.) I've swapped network cards (Linksys PCI Gigabit cards) and used the onboard 100 MB VIA card as well. None of this eliminates the bug. I've also sucessfully used the same network card on a x86_64 version of Ubuntu on another server with no problems! I've also used another x86_64 server with a built in network card with no problems. The only things that are specific to my lock up is the motherboard/CPU... perhaps could it be the PCI bus controller? What about the BIOS's ACPI control? The machine has 6 hard drives with one PCI IDE soft-RAID controller, the onboard IDE controller, and 2 Hauppauge PVR350 PCI video capture cards. The results of "cat /proc/interrupts" shows the eth1 (Linksys Gigabit) card is sharing Interrupt 16 with one of the ivtv devices... but both work. There are no errors in the ring buffer (/bin/dmesg) or the syslog. As this makes me want to hit my computer with a BFH, let me know what I can do to help track this down. -- Heavy network activity (eg: torrent/nfs file transfers) causes Hard System Locks and/or Network Freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147464 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
