I was going to say "no" because I was simply copying some data via the network. However, it seems the situation is a bit more complicated than this. It seems that I only get these underruns using a specific hard drive. You see, the reason I'm rsyncing hundred of megabytes of data across my LAN is because my laptop hard drive is dying, so I put it in a PC as secondary master using an adapter. Interestingly enough, I don't get any Tx underruns when using a different disk. Which is strange because at the moment the disk is working fine (it sort of started dying but seems to behave right now), so I don't know why it would change anything. Maybe this makes sense to someone. By the way, I only get underruns when I rsync from the PC to another machine - not when I rsync from the other machine to the PC. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
