Also seeing these in the syslog immediately after installing the plugin.  Any concern?

vmxnet3 is enabled however very slow copy speed from Physical to VM.

I see those auto-negotiation all set to "No".  if I run: ethtool eth0

 

here is some questions:

1. Is there a way to temporarily switch from vmxnet3 back to e1000 just for testing?

2. I see the speed is at 10000Mb, can it limit to 1000Mb?

3. Can the auto negotiation set to "Yes"?

 

my speed inside the ESXi is excellent, VM to VM copy around 120MB /sec.

 

However, Physical to VM only 15MB /sec. my router is a Gigabit router.

What am I did wrong?

Yes - remove the ethernet device from your VM configuration and add a new e1000 one.

 

2. I see the speed is at 10000Mb, can it limit to 1000Mb?

No.

 

3. Can the auto negotiation set to "Yes"?

No.

I do not provide the VMXNET3 driver, it's included in the unRaid kenel.

 

You will probably get better support in a VMware forum as there is likely nothing unRaid specific at play here.
