[SOLVED] Watchdog timeout -- resetting

[russoj88]

I think the card is ok.  It works in the other machine.

I ran the card without the riser in the box with errors and still got them, so I think the riser is ok too.

I picked up a switch and started using the ports on the motherboard for WAN/LAN and everything's been good for a while.  I'm guessing the PCI slot is somehow broken.

ah ok I misunderstood I thought the card was having issues as well. It does seem like it or there is some kind of North bridge issue. I would keep an eye on the machine over the next several days.

Seems that there has been a patch commit that's not made it into FreeBSD yet that should fix this issue.

How is this related to storage/NFS?

Fixes have been pushed to 11-CURRENT but not 10-STABLE. Should have been there 2 months ago, but networking maintenance in 10-STABLE is flaky. I'm sorry.

I know that Shawn will try to build OPNsense/HardenedBSD on top of 11-CURRENT soon. That'll certainly help.

You have no reason to be sorry.  I appreciate the information.  I'm very new and RAW to any of this (pfsense, opnsense, FreeBSD, etc) and just decided I needed a new project so I picked up a new SuperMicro Intel N3700 board with 4 - Intel I210-AT gigabit ports on it to build a router in a box project.  If I could get past the watchdog timeouts that randomly occur (under higher traffic load), it would be great.  Seems, from google, that this all started with FreeBSD 10.1 or so.

When trying pfsense, I looked and saw the driver was 2.4.0 but Intel has an updated driver of 2.4.3 but I don't know if that will fix anything or not (and I don't yet know how to compile it and insert it into a running system - I may have to install FreeBSD in a VM, compile it there, and then transport it over).  I was hoping FreeBSD 10.2 would have the commit changes but doesn't appear to be.

Again, thanks for the help. :)

To be honest, I don't know.  I've followed the trail through google and it ended at that commit.  If you read through the page at the link, there are various stages of testing and trials.
