I have a brand new poweredge 2900 with 10 SAS drives configured in two

raid 1: 2x73GB
raid 10: 8x300GB
It's got 4GB of ram, and it's intended to be an NFS filestore.
For some strange reason, logging in with ssh works great, it returns a
prompt, all seems well.
I go to run a simple command like 'top' or 'yum -y install <package>',
and my xterm/ssh session just locks. In some cases, it's drawn half of
the top screen and hung, in other cases, it doesn't even do that. Kill
the xterm window, bring a new one up, right back in, try it again, it
repeats.
What's interesting to me is that I have all kinds of other 'lesser'
systems running CentOS 4.4, and I have none of these issues with them.
My ~1.1TB raid 10 drive is
sliced up into 4 parts, with the big one being about 950GB. Near as I
can figure, I haven't hit any limitations, but I'm stumped by something
that I *think* is probably either relatively trivial, or just a straight
out hardware incompatibility. One thought is that it could be related
to the Gb ethernet devices (bge).
Commands like 'ifconfig -a' work great. 'dmesg | grep eth0' locks up
the session.
This is relatively frustrating. Googling doesn't seem to net any real
results, and I can't seem to find anything relevant in the logs.
One more relevant bit to add, this behavior does not exist from the
console.

Not answering your question, but I have to ask, what does ifconfig -a
do? I man ifconfig and it does not show an -a switch. Looked it up on the
Internet, still can't find a -a switch.
Hi,
>From the ifconfig man page:
If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of the
currently active interfaces. If a single interface argument is
given, it displays the status of the given interface only; if a
single -a argument is given, it displays the status of all
interfaces, even those that are down. Otherwise, it configures an
interface.

It seems like this is a NIC issue or I/O of the MB. Do you have another
NIC you can test it with?

Ahhh, I figured it meant -a as in "all" but I was looking for the list
of switches like:
-a --all lists all interfaces
-b --bummer this switch breaks everything
etc
but I did not READ the man page but neither did I see a list of
switches. Figures. Thanks :)
