Over the year I've read some interesting (horrifying?) tales of debugging on NANOG. It seems I finally have my own to contribute: http://blog.krisk.org/2013/02/packets-of-death.html The strangest issue I've experienced, that's for sure.
FWIW, I had a similar situation crop up a couple of years ago with *five different* Seagate SATA drives: they grew some specific type of bad spot on the drive which, if you even tried to read it, would *knock the drive adapter off line until powercycle*; even a reboot didn't clear it. Nice writeup. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
