Just a status update to help people that may be troubleshooting this bug. I got so frustrated with this bug that I nuked the filesystem and started fresh. I installed Ubuntu (Ibex), but this time installed the server version. I also chose not to use any RAID partitions. So far, so good. Everything has been pretty stable for a season; no ethernet lock-ups!
So, was it the kernel? Perhaps the different I/O scheduler that the server edition uses is better able to handle high speed multitasking? Perhaps it was the RAID driver? Maybe it was the RAID driver as part of the OS partition (boot, root, etc.)? Maybe it was the constant upgrades all the way from Breezy to Ibex that left some configuration file in a uniquely crappy state? Anyhow, this isn't the way I wanted to solve it, but it does prove the hardware is fine. I am still shocked that after over 2 years of complaining and documenting this bug, no one else has made any progress on this either. I can only imagine this MUST not be common place? -- network dies with large amount of high speed traffic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296162 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
