I recently upgraded from a rock solid DSM 5 to DSM 6 for some much needed features. The upgrade went pretty smoothly, but the network and file services on DSM 6 update 10 seem to periodically drop. A 1GB file transfer over SMB or NFS will be chugging along at 100MB/s and then suddenly drop to zero. It sometimes resumes maybe 30 seconds later.
Drops aren't predictable that I can see. Sometimes I won't see one for quite some time, and sometimes it happens repeatedly in the span of 10 mins. I d

ifconfig eth0 reports 0 errors. SMB transfer speed is brutally slow when it reconnects (max 21MB/s vs. typical 100+MB/s), even after I restart smbd, but seems to be a little more reliable. If I switch from SMB 2 with jumbo frames to
