<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">To try and work through the initial drops, I repeated the previous steps that worked on the physical machine on the CentOS 7.6 virtual machine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The drops continued to occur, but it seems that the driver always reconnects. My initial inclination is to work through and see at what point I get the drops to stop, and I think I will do that next (inputs welcome).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">From a standpoint of “how much does this impact functionality?”, it seems like the driver goes stale then quickly reconnects. So, if I understand correctly, the user would get a bunch of nuisance messages and
some data may be lost in this case. Does that sound right?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am also trying to work through if the virtual machine problem is an important problem to solve. If physical boxes work, maybe not. But since we have had reports of physical boxes not working, I will try to
get to a point of confirming the fix here and then having this as a fallback if it comes up again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Ok, so I have made some progress that seems to suggest the initial “fix” I stumbled upon isn’t required. I haven’t yet worked backwards to figure out reasons why our customers have had similar complaints or solve the problem on the CentOS
VM yet, but that is on the todo list. I am hoping it ends up just being not enabling the service on startup, but I can’t say that explains away all the symptoms just yet.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">These leaves me with the questions of “why are we dropping in the first place?” (obviously not a NUT problem and maybe not as big a deal now that it seems to work) and “why has it been impacting users ability to use this model and a
similar model?”. I am hoping to better understand this as I go back and dig into the other issues. Any inputs are appreciated.
