Just two minor findings: (a) After update from 3.4-rc5 to 3.4, the problem persisted. (b) Later I noticed that silent file corruptions on FireWire disks happened and happen under 3.4-rc5 and 3.4, so I reverted into 3.3.1 which fixed that issue. Furthermore, since 6 days uptime of 3.3.1, the eth0 (r8169) transmit queue time-out did never occur. I have no idea whether the FireWire and networking issues might be somehow connected, and I still lack time to investigate these issues (using Linux only at home, not at work), but I will eventually get back to it. -- Stefan Richter -=====-===-- -==- ---=- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
