This gets worse I'm afraid. Well, some good news. I have reinstalled this system fresh (after trying 1.2.3--no NIC driver :( ), and I'm now seeing the expected LANWAN throughput of 900+ mbps sustained. Either something has changed in the latest snaps, or I had a bad setting. I had done not much besides tighten up non-LAN firewall rules a bit and turn on powerd. Now I'm wondering if I had enabled NIC checksumming. I'll play a bit and find out what difference that makes. The current 2.0 snapshots have a different driver for the Intel gigabit cards. We switched to the Yandex drivers to debug driver issues with the Intel supplied ones. This has fixed performance issues for a number of people but introduced other issues for a number of others. You can't win them all. We'll leave this for atleast a week or so until we have a larger sample set.

[pfSense Support] Intel Gigabit - em0: Watchdog Timeout
Hello All, I currently have two pfSense boxes with Intel Gigabit cards. The first is a Dell Optiplex gx270 (Pentium 4, 512mb RAM). It has one built-in Intel Gigabit port and two dual-port PCI cards. This gives me em0 - em4. As far as I can tell, this box is working perfectly. The second is also a gx270 with one built-in gigabit port. It has another single-port Intel Gigabit card and a generic 10/100 card whose name I can't find that shows up as fxp0. I am now trying to set up a third box. It is a Dell Optiplex gx240. It has an on-board 3Com 3C920-based 10/100 port. I added a dual-port Intel card (the same one as the first box). Using em1 of that card works fine but when I plug in em0, I start getting em0: Watchdog Timeout messages on the console. What should I look at to troubleshoot this? Is it a problem with the network card? Moshe -- Moshe Katz -- mo...@ymkatz.net -- +1(301)867-3732

[pfSense Support] Thoughts on hardware for a possible pfSense installation for firewalling 5000+ workstations on a 30-40Mbps Internet uplink
As part of a regional education service agency to multiple K-12 school districts, we're talking about using pfSense for our nat/firewalling for approximately 5000+ workstations on a 30-40 Mbps internet uplink. Any one on the list have a pfSense similar to that for any suggestions? My plan would be to use do nat/firewall, no squid, squidguard, snort packages. Thank you in advance for any information.

It stay up about 10 minutes tops. Then just goes up and down. Never up more than few minutes at a time and may stay down 30-60. Wonder if I should give up on the Supermicro's.

About the same in production. Mainly using it for sys admin. No traffic at the moment though, the boxes are setup in my lab, but I did leave the production config in place. --Original Message-- From: David Burgess To: support@pfsense.com ReplyTo: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: AW: [pfSense Support] Re: Intel Gigabit - em0: Watchdog Timeout Sent: Mar 4, 2011 10:27 PM On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 8:22 PM, Kevin Tollison ktolli...@gmail.com wrote: That kills my theories.

Very similar setup here D510 4GB RAM using amd64 version. This box gave trouble first. The HDD was a standard 160GB 3.5 SATA. I have since installed a 40GB Intel SSD The other is a D525 2GB RAM and a 40GB Intel SSD using the i386 version. The 64 is a factory default and stays up a while, but still stops at some point. The i386 only last a few minutes with the production config. -- Kevin Tollison Sent from my Blackberry -Original Message- From: Mehma Sarja mehmasa...@gmail.com Date: Fri, 04 Mar 2011 19:22:50 To: support@pfsense.com Reply-To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: AW: [pfSense Support] Re: Intel Gigabit - em0: Watchdog Timeout On 3/4/11 7:09 PM, Kevin Tollison wrote: 2 B5 was good until a month or so ago. Are you using any vlans? I am beginning to think it may be in vlans. Don't use vlans. I tried upgrading with and without my packages (snort, country block, DNS blacklist, rate and notes) - same effect. I thought maybe it is FBSD 7.3 - but it does not make any logical sense for an earlier release to support the nics and ssd (I am on a TORQX ssd) and not a later release. Then I started suspecting the ssd. Cuz, here is an observation, I had to reboot a few times for the BIOS to see the drive. My config is simple - 32 gb SSD, 4 GB RAM, D510 MB. No other devices. I am booting off an external USB DVD drive. I can get the drive to be seen it I pull the power plug. This MB has IPMI and suspect that other cpu is humming at power off. Have not logged into the IPMI processor.

hail, I just tried some pfsense in this board, using that drive. using today's RC1 I got: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/pfsense0 ROOT MOUNT ERROR: If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the following from the loader prompt: set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw and then remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab.
