Hi Chris,
in my production environment, I have two physical PBS: the first has two 10 Gbps NICs bonded with LACP with a 9000 MTU, while the second has two 1 Gbps NICs bonded with LACP with a 1500 MTU. Both are experiencing issues with Kernel 6.17.2-1 or 6.17.2.2, but worked perfectly with 6.14.x. Therefore, the problem is NOT exclusively related to LACP with MTU 9000, but also to LACP with MTU 1500.
I'm currently patching the situation by backing up to two virtual PBS with PBS version 3.4.8, and replicating the backups to the physical PBS via a Push Sync Job. Unfortunately, I must report that Push Jobs to PBS 4 also fail randomly. To add further details, both PBS 4s use ZFS datastores with Namespaces.
Below is the log of the failed Sync job pushes:
