Traffic stops

It appears when pushing under load.

stephenw10

Hmm, so no errors at boot then?

Steve

Jonb

No nothing at boot and if there is no load it runs for days. As soon as you push 20Mb or so it goes, so when I say load more then tick over.

stephenw10

You could try booting 'verbose' to see if any more clues are given.
It looks like you've already tried evrything I might suggest. :-\

Bummer. Guess only thing left is hack the driver :(

stephenw10

Since you first asked about this it looks like some dma related fixes have gone into the driver. Probably worth trying though it might only compile against FreeBSD 10.

Steve

Jonb

sweet so we should be good on v2.2

stephenw10

Maybe. 2.2 is tracking 10-stable (or was until recently at least) so any bug fixes should be included. Only testing will tell if they address your issue though. ;)

Jonb

Thanks will update

stephenw10

Unfortunately it doesn't look like the patch made it into 10.1, and hence pfSense 2.2. In fact it's not in 10-stable either only in head:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/et/if_et.c?view=log

You might have to compile it yourself if you want to try it.

Your right because after testing I didn't have any joys. I am tempted to move it to ESXi anyway which would solve this. A 1GHz via just isn't cutting it anymore now I am running squid and dansgardian.
