Thank you, I hear what you are saying. One more thing I noticed when testing with DRBD 8.3.3RC2 the behaviour is different. The target machine does not stall but simply disconnects all network interfaces. The var/log/messages show the included in the snippet below. Do you think with this information the bnx2 module is faulty? mfg, jeroen ------------------ snippet ------------------------- Sep 25 11:33:23 Cluster3Node1 kernel: block drbd1: Restarting receiver thread Sep 25 11:33:23 Cluster3Node1 kernel: block drbd1: receiver (re)started Sep 25 11:33:23 Cluster3Node1 kernel: block drbd1: conn( Unconnected -> WFConnection ) Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: WARNING: at net/sched/sch_generic.c:219 dev_watchdog+0x139/0x1eb() Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (bnx2): transmit timed out Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: Modules linked in: drbd(N) joydev ip6t_LOG xt_tcpudp xt_pkttype ipt_LOG xt_limit xt_physdev netbk blkbk blktap xenbus_be binfmt_misc bridge stp ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 ip6table_raw xt_NOTRACK ipt_REJECT xt_state iptable_raw iptable_filter ip6table_mangle nf_conntrack_netbios_ns nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_conntrack ip_tables ip6table_filter ip6_tables x_tables ipv6 microcode fuse loop dm_mod ppdev 8250_pnp rtc_cmos rtc_core 8250 parport_pc floppy iTCO_wdt rtc_lib parport serial_core pcspkr sr_mod iTCO_vendor_support bnx2 e1000 i2c_i801 container serio_raw i5000_edac i2c_core button edac_core shpchp pci_hotplug sg usbhid hid ff_memless ehci_hcd uhci_hcd usbcore sd_mod crc_t10dif xenblk cdrom xennet megaraid_sas edd ext3 mbcache jbd fan ide_pci_generic piix ide_core ata_generic ata_piix libata scsi_mod dock thermal processor thermal_sys hwmon [last unloaded: drbd] Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: Supported: No Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G 2.6.27.21-0.1-xen #1 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: Call Trace: Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff8020c597>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x41/0x58 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff804635e0>] dump_stack+0x69/0x6f Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff80232991>] warn_slowpath+0xa9/0xd1 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff80406670>] dev_watchdog+0x139/0x1eb Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff8023c2f2>] run_timer_softirq+0x1ba/0x268 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff80238543>] __do_softirq+0xa1/0x148 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff8020c00c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x28 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff8020d2b3>] do_softirq+0x4b/0xca Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff8020bace>] do_hypervisor_callback+0x1e/0x30 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff802073aa>] 0xffffffff802073aa Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff8020da6b>] xen_safe_halt+0x97/0xac Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff80210702>] xen_idle+0x2e/0x67 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff8020a422>] cpu_idle+0x57/0x93 Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff80712a65>] start_kernel+0x3be/0x3ca Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: [<ffffffff807121e4>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xb4/0xba Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: ---[ end trace 4f7e0b535ea49a76 ]--- Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: bnx2: eth0 NIC Copper Link is Down Sep 25 11:38:14 Cluster3Node1 kernel: br0: port 1(eth0) entering disabled state Sep 25 11:58:15 Cluster3Node1 -- MARK -- ------------------ snippet ------------------------- mfg, Jeroen.
