I recently made the move to FreeNas. I am currently on version 8.2 beta3 because of the plugin system. I have however just one issue. My network keeps locking up. The remedy when it happens to do a ifconfig down & up.
After an evening of debugging I found its probably related to large network packets. I disabled txcsum and rxcsum and tso. It still kept locking up. In the end I put the NFS client on different settings. I lowered the rsize and wsize. Now NFS is nice and slow but atleast my NIC isnt crashing.
I have this card:
[root@StorageNode] ~# dmesg | grep re0
re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xd0004000-0xd0004fff,0xd0000000-0xd0003fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci4
re0: Using 1 MSI-X message
re0: Chip rev. 0x2c000000
re0: MAC rev. 0x00000000
miibus0: <MII bus> on re0
re0: Ethernet address: c8:60:00:86:01:3f
re0: [ITHREAD]
re0: link state changed to DOWN
re0: link state changed to UP
Is there anything I can do?
