So yes - I blame the r8168 module shipped in the distros. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661294 Title: System lock-up when receiving large files over a Realtek NIC (big data amount) from NFS server -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
