What were you trying to do?
heavy network file I/O
What's wrong:
Console message:
10:25 Aug 3 10:25:41 1A:paddington unix: ALERT: ec0: no carrier: check Ethernet cable
What should have happened:
No error message
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
My workstation has been displaying these messages just since
the release, during periods of heavy network file I/O, like
when I use RMAIL to retrieve messages. My RMAIL file is
nearly 5MB. I don't know whether this is coincident with some
other, physical problem (like a failing drop) but it is
definitely coincident with my installation of the new release.
