This sounds identical to what I see here with 2.2.13pre-something ('Drake 6.1),
FWIW. I plan on upgrading the kernel eventually, however recompiling a kernel on
a P-133 doesn't sound like much fun.
In essence, the system remains running, however pings to the box from any
Win-station timeout and pings from the box to any other station take in the
neighborhood of 4 seconds to reply. Oddly, even though my POP client is no
longer transfering data (almost like the TCP session has been RST), I can ssh
over to restart the network services. After which the POP client will eventually
pick back up where it left off.
I think I rebooted that box or another with a similar problem once and the
problem went away for a couple of months. Right now, that box has been up:
[root@gambit jlemay]# uptime
11:42pm up 85 days, 22:56, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00
The high CPU load is dnetc.
I hate to start over, so I haven't rebooted.
