On mine:
root at bb:/usr/ports/benchmarks/iperf # sysctl dev.cpsw | grep Err
dev.cpsw.0.stats.RxCrcErrors: 0
dev.cpsw.0.stats.RxAlignErrors: 0
dev.cpsw.0.stats.CarrierSenseErrors: 0
That's after 3 days of uptime including doing builds over nfs, and all
the iperf testing I was doing yesterday (no errors after megabytes of
transfers).
I wonder if your power supply is failing and injecting transient
glitches under heavy load or something?
