Im having this issue here on two identical SuperMicro X9DBL-iF based Serves with two Intel 82574L chips each.
Both systems are running on 12.04.2 LTS - Kernel 3.5.0-25 x86_64 We tried so far: -) applying eeprom fix -) adding kernel parameters (Kernel 3.5) -) new kernel (3.8.0-25) nothing helped, still getting packets "occasionally" dropped - e.g. stats for one system running for 2 months: # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:25:90:9b:34:70 inet Adresse:10.1.0.2 Bcast:10.1.0.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 inet6-Adresse: fe80::225:90ff:fe9b:3470/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metrik:1 RX packets:710697486 errors:0 dropped:575281 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2469906608 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX-Bytes:123575747734 (123.5 GB) TX-Bytes:3245008116186 (3.2 TB) Interrupt:16 Speicher:dfa00000-dfa20000 575.281 dropped are a lot... Symptoms are: -) flickering DRBD-link (connection dropped, then resync and back online again) -) ssh hangs for 1-2 secs -) ping times > 1 sec -) various application specific problems due to packet drops At the moment we don't know what else we could try... - how's the rest of you going? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018561 Title: e1000e needs updating due to 82574L keeps dropping RX packets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1018561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
