Losing Network Connectivity

[davidthornton]

I'm still having terrible trouble with DSS 1.37, whether I am using the live or the test kernel. If network usage gets intensive (e.g. copying large files from an iSCSI partition to a NAS partition), network connectivity dies and I have to go to the local console and reboot the DSS machine. It's died so many times it's useless to me.

I've been talking to technical support and was advised to try the test kernel because "sky2" was dying. That didn't help. When I tried to update to 5.0 by uploading the ISO even that kills the DSS. I cannot do the update when using the test kernel either. It simply fails.

I am awaiting on email responses to my logs, and know technical support are looking at the issue. Is nobody else getting this problem?

I have a several problems too. I got only the error message that the device is not available. But when i try again it works. The error i got during copy or delete...

Is some interested to buy a dss box?

Best regards
Stefan

I burned "n20071206s.142_b2988.dss-bas.generic.iso" to CD-ROM and booted off it, after connecting a CD-ROM drive. This allowed me to perform the update successfully. I am now running version 5.0.DB42000000.2988. I performed some intensive network and disk activity from multiple clients. Touch wood it's not crashed yet. If it does, I will post here again.

Thanks for the update Open-E.
