I’m not running the same driver, thats why I don’t think the bug applies. I am running the ixl 1.11.9-k driver, this is wat the kernel loads for the Intel x710 card.
I was also thinking about running iSCSI in multipathing mode to work arround this issue. But the engineer in me still wants to know what the issue is.
I’ll try the MPHA setup, but I’m open to suggestions if someone has had a similar issue .
I think I got it working.
I downloaded http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/intel-ixl-kmod-1.11.9.txz ,
copied the if_ixl_updated.ko to the /boot/modules folder and loaded it with a tunable.
It seems to work now, alt least after a reboot of the FreeNAS box.
The thing that changed is:
original output of dmesg | grep ixl:
ixl0: <Intel(R) Ethernet Connection 700 Series PF Driver, Version - 1.11.9-k>
output with the driver form pkg.freebsd.org dmesg | grep ixl:
ixl0: <Intel(R) Ethernet Connection 700 Series PF Driver, Version - 1.11.9>
I’m not 100% comfortable with this solution, because it’s not a driver from the original freeNAS install, so I don’t know what will happen with an update. And I still have a gut feeling it might break any time.
