The BIOS was updated:
P89 05/06/2015
We are still seeing drops on the bonded interfaces and the slave nic. The host has not been rebooted since the BIOS upgrade so all drop counts are new and current.
For example:
auto em4 iface em4 inet manual bond-master bond3 bond-primary em4
auto em2 iface em2 inet manual bond-master bond3
bond3 - RX dropped:2581 em2 - RX dropped:1290 em4 - RX dropped:0
During a previous test (post reboot) I broke the bonding as still saw drops on em4 with minimal data. See my comment from 2015-10-21
Happy to provide further details upon request.
