Still working thru weirdness trying to get up to 5b14, but as part of it I ended up updating my PS to an OCZ from a CoolerMaster.. and since doing so, most, if not all (except the other weirdness on permissions) have gone away. Not even network issues. What should I look for to see the Realtek 8111e issues? I've got no network dropouts, good speed on transfers, etc...  or now that I've said something is it going to come attack me in my sleep??

Only chuck norris will come attack you, but only if you invoke his name in a sissy kind of way.

 

I haven't read any specifics but I believe it is drop outs, driver dying altogether, and just all-over pain in the butt to deal with.

 

I think most of the problems come from long periods of sustained transferring over the network is when it really starts to act up.

I believe it varies,

 

I had network link up and down all the time, ie disconnects and connects hundreds of times.

Be wary of Atheros NICS as well, my MB has one and it drops out over sustained transfers. It works 99% of the time and hasn't dropped out while streaming. I wrote a little cron to check its status and restart the network if it fails, its enough of a work around that my server works fine and I don't notice anything unless I try to access it in the 5 minute window between crons.

Interesting, I've had it up and running back on 4.7 now for ...(checks stats) 4 1/2 days, with a steady stream in/out (including the 1st of the month parity check) and not a hiccup. Beginning to wonder if this is a magic power supply I changed to... nothing in the log but long strings of spin downs (and the parity check)...
