I'm trying to use my recently built freeNAS box to host TFTP to be used to boot PXE images. I am noticing massive "transfer stall" issues with the TFTP server when transferring large files over TFTP. I'm have a PXE menu set of items to boot over PXE (which all works and tested when sitting on a linux TFTP server) but now I have moved these same files over to FreeNAS tftp and seeing that FreeNAS "sort" of works. One example of what I'm trying transfer is an ESXi 5 install images (single files upwards of 150 mbytes) and whenever I hit a large file, the transfer just dies in its tracks about 1/2 way through. Other smaller images work as the files are NOT that big. I thought it may be related to my Realtek nic so I switched to an Intel Pro/1000 PCIe NIC with same results..
Setup:
FreeNAS 8.0.3 p1
Athlon X2 4200+
tftp root sitting in a ZFS dataset
Realtek 8111 and Intel Pro1000 NIC
Trying to boot:
-ESXi 5.0 Install image (set up for PXE boot)
-SLAX modified PXE boot image
-MSDOS boot disk image (works due to small size)
I'm seeing the following errors (100s of these) in the messages:
Jan 29 11:37:41 celestial tftpd[3984]: Got ERROR packet: No error, file close
Jan 29 11:37:41 celestial tftpd[3986]: Got ERROR packet: No error, file close
Jan 29 11:37:41 celestial tftpd[3988]: Got ERROR packet: No error, file close
Jan 29 11:38:18 celestial tftpd[4020]: Block rollover but not allowed.
which tells me there is something fishy going on here
Thanks for any suggestions.
