I just fired a message off to @amd64 && @net because I am seeing
messages like:
nfe0: tx v2 error 0x6204<UNDERFLOW>
on a recent 8.1/amd64 install which is connected to an 8.0/i386 via NFS.
They both run NFS client && server, and they both utilize mount points
on each other. They are only 2 of several interconnected servers. The
others are all 7x/i386. But I only see these messages on the 8.1/amd64,
and only when connected to, and utilizing mounts on the 8.0/i386, and even
then, only when the data exceeds ~1.5Mb.
I guess I'm asking if the messages I'm receiving are related to the
corrections your patch provides. Or should I keep looking for the answer
for the messages I am seeing.
Thank you for all your time and consideration.
