Nope. That only happened once in this uptime:
[root@donkey ~]# uptime 21:57:21 up 14 days, 22:04, 5 users, load average: 0.64, 0.47, 0.44
The machine runs unattended as a bittorrent client, 24x7, with a very low traffic (uploading at a steady ~36KB/s, and downloads happen in peaks).
I VNC into it in the evening and manage the torrents; that is all.
Now, there's an interesting tidbit:
[root@donkey ~]# ip -s link show eth0 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:c0:49:a7:33:fe brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff RX: bytes packets errors dropped overrun mcast 959044156 60549131 0 0 0 0 TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns 744533957 66149681 0 0 0 0
[root@donkey ~]# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:49:A7:33:FE inet addr:192.168.1.7 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2c0:49ff:fea7:33fe/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:60551468 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:66152721 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:1 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:959199592 (914.7 MiB) TX bytes:748395356 (713.7 MiB) Interrupt:12 Base address:0xce00
Somehow the "overruns" counter is seen differently by 'ip' and 'ifconfig' - one says 0, the other says 1 - perhaps the packet that WARN'd me on tcp_simple_retransmit ?
If there's anything else - reproducing seems really really unlikely - 1 packet in 66 million...
Thanks,
