Usually it hangs after around 1 to 2 gigs have been transferred. There are no log entries at the time of the hang. IT just... stops. I'm using a 3c905 PCI ethernet card rather than the stock 10 megabit LASI on board. I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the ethernet driver when compiled for PARISC. I've tried very large ftp transfers and can't reproduce the problem that way. I've also tried NFS over TCP and tried reducing the rsize/wsize below 1500 bytes to prevent IP fragmentation. Neither of which seem to help. Are there any known NFS issues right now? Any ideas? Suggestions? Kurt. _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
