| 02:12 | heap_ | hi, i occured strange issue, running kernel 4.4.0 and samba.. when there is a higher load (read) from smb the network stops to work... i mean i can ping eth0 on the server where samba is running but cant ping gateway .. i have to disconnect eth0 and after it everything works again... any idea? |

| 17:49 | vpeter | heap_: Which distro? Try armbian at least for a test. |
| 17:55 | heap_ | vpeter: debian |
| 17:55 | heap_ | vpeter: why armbian? |
| 17:55 | vpeter | I think it has some extra kernel patches. |
| 17:56 | heap_ | vpeter: do you think its kernel issue? |
| 17:56 | heap_ | vpeter: what kernel it has? any link to that armbian distro? |
| 17:56 | vpeter | I think jnettlet would confirm :) |
| 17:56 | vpeter | http://www.armbian.com/download/ |
| 17:59 | heap_ | which one should i go for wheezy, jessie, trusty? |
| 18:00 | heap_ | look like noone plays with 4x kernel ;/ |
| 18:01 | vpeter | wheezy I think. Jessie is stable. |
| 18:02 | vpeter | Only few people :) |
| 18:11 | heap_ | hmhm |
| 18:24 | jnettlet | vpeter, heap, as best as I know all 4.x ports of the kernel have major problems with various aspects |
| 18:26 | jnettlet | obviously you have your reasons for wanting 4.x however most of our current customers are happily using 3.14.yy. Any work I will put towards 4.4.yy will be regarding upstream enhancements |
| 18:27 | heap_ | jnettlet: is is possible that there is bug with samba? |
| 18:28 | jnettlet | heap_, I doubt it. I have had multiple other b2b customers that have reported the same behaviour. As soon I as told them to switch to our Jessie image their problems went away. |
| 18:29 | heap_ | jnettlet: ok im going to switch to your kernel |
| 18:29 | jnettlet | heap_, starting with 4.1.yy the upstream NXP maintainer for the ethernet driver has introduced various regressions from build to build. Upstream stability has not been a good thing for us. |
| 18:29 | heap_ | i really cant stand how "unstable it is" with 4x |
| 18:30 | jnettlet | heap_, if you still see the problem then feel free to yell at me and I will debug it for you :) |
| 18:30 | jnettlet | but I have many high bandwidth boards that have been running for months here |
| 18:31 | heap_ | jnettlet: at the moment my issue is with samba |
| 18:31 | heap_ | jnettlet: when there is a load (read) then eth stop to work |
| 18:31 | heap_ | well i can pig eth0 on cubox but not gw, until i reconnect cable manually or if down/up |
| 18:31 | jnettlet | heap_, yes that is the same problem the customers I worked with reported |
| 18:32 | jnettlet | I don't think our 3.14.yy kernel has that issue |
| 18:32 | heap_ | so is it possible to fix in 4x? |
| 18:32 | heap_ | how many backport received 3.14.60 ? |
| 18:33 | jnettlet | well I am sure it can be fixed, but the driver has changed a lot in the 4.1.yy and newer kernels |
| 18:37 | heap_ | hmhm |
| 18:37 | heap_ | but how |
| 18:39 | heap_ | jnettlet: can i go with armbian + Kernel 4.4.1 with large hardware support, headers and some firmware included ? |
| 18:39 | heap_ | vanila |
| 18:39 | jnettlet | heap_, really your best bet would be to test against a full upstream kernel and then if you run into the same problem report a bug against the upstream kernel |
| 18:39 | heap_ | but what about vanila Kernel 4.4.1 with large hardware support, headers and some firmware included ? |
| 18:40 | jnettlet | sure give it a try. |
| 18:40 | heap_ | hmhm :) |
| 18:40 | heap_ | ok then |
| 18:40 | heap_ | are you working on that vanila 4.4.1 also? |
| 18:40 | jnettlet | although if you run into the bug they will most likely ask you to test against the current mainline |
| 18:40 | heap_ | or its generic kernel? |
| 18:41 | jnettlet | for my 4.4.1 testing I generally just test the etnaviv gpu. |
| 18:41 | jnettlet | nothing that I would consider product quality testing |
| 20:47 | vpeter | heap_: You have problem with writing on your imx6 system? |
| 21:04 | heap_ | vpeter: what exactly do you mean? |
