Quoting Claus Guttesen <kome...@gmail.com> (from Tue, 29 Mar 2011

I'm mounting the FreeBSD-server from a couple of vmware esxi 4.1
servers using nfs, but when there is alot of i/o the server becomes
unresponsive, easily triggered by installing ie. ms-sql. The server
itself is up but is not reachable from the network. When I take the
nic down and up again connection to the network is reestablished
(ip-wise).
So, is it just NFS that wedges or all IP activity and does NFS come
back to life after the "ifconfig XX up"?
All ip-activitiy, dns, ssh etc. on the interface (ip-address) that is
mounted. So whenever I test I log in to the server using the other
ip-address and whenever it stops responding to ping or my screen
session stops I reload the interfaces and the traffic resumes.
Are the two NICs the same brand/driver/board? If not, could you try to
switch the networks on them and test if the problem persists? It would
also be nice if you could tell which driver/chip the NIC with the
problem is.
Bye,
Alexander.
