it seems that some older kernels do the same...

I have discovered recently I have the same problem with a HP Netserver LH
3000 wich works fine in any other case :

uname-a
Linux databaseserver 2.4.10 #1 Tue Nov 13 17:28:13 CET 2001 i686 unknown

excerpt of dmesg :
eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker

eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.36 $ 2000/11/17 Modified by Andrey V. Savochkin
<saw@saw.sw.com.sg> and others
eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:30:6E:00:1A:49, IRQ 18.
Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
Board assembly 506477-150, Physical connectors present: RJ45
Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
General self-test: passed.
Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
Internal registers self-test: passed.
ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).
Receiver lock-up workaround activated.

on a Slackware 8.0 running postgreSQL.

When i mount a SMB share and copy a large file to an NT Server (postgres
database files : 2-3 GBytes) all network connections are closed and a
reboot is needed.

It seems also that this problem is related

This server has been in production state for almost 1 year and is very
stable as long as you don't transfer large files to a network mount point.

Hope this helps
