[Xen-users] Bridge stops forwarding on fc8 xen 3.1



I have raised this issue a couple of times and had no response. I am hoping that in the last few months someone else may have had the same scenario and have had more success in resolving the issue than I am.

I have 3 domUs running 2.6.21.7-5.fc8xen, running on a 32 bit host running 2.6.21-7.fc7xen (xen-3.1.2-2.fc7)

I have had a number of occerances where the bridge stops forwarding packets from the domUs to the physical interface of the host. The domUs and domU can all communicate amongst themselves but the domUs lose their connectivity to the outside world. The only fix I have found is to reboot the phsyical server, which is a Supermicro 5014. The server has Broadcom NICs and the kernel is using the tg3 driver.

I appreciate that fc7 is getting a little old but the server is colocated 600 miles away and hence upgrading the OS isn't currently an option.

ANy clues or even a pointer to a possible bug either Xen or Kernel would be appreciated as it least might help me determine my options.
