BLKMGK Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Okay, not sure what has occurred here. I have my 2 machines plugged into a GigE switch. Tonight while using Teracopy I am seeing a max of 10MBs on ONE server. I investigate and find that the Link on both ends to that server is showing 100megs. I swap a cable, same thing! My desktop which is using the same cabling and is about the same distance synchs at 1Gig. I swap cables between the two machines - the problem stays with the one machine and doesn't follow the cable. Ideas? I'm on 4.7 production release. I cannot recall the hardware off the top of my head but this box has synched fine in the past. Below is the messages from my network hardware on one of the machines: NIC info (from ethtool) Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbag Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000001 (1) Link detected: yes NIC driver info (from ethtool -i) driver: e1000e version: 1.0.2-k2 firmware-version: 1.1-0 bus-info: 0000:00:19.0 Ethernet config info (from ifconfig) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:fc:39:e4:22 inet addr:192.168.1.114 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:89648555 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:46142412 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:435751144 (415.5 MiB) TX bytes:1940019521 (1.8 GiB) Memory:fe8c0000-fe8e0000 The port indicator is orange vs bright green for sure :-( Anyone else seeing this? Is it a driver issue? What more can I do to help troubleshoot it? In the system log I see this: Mar 2 18:14:13 VOID kernel: e1000e: Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Intel Corporation.

I guess when this copy is over I'll try a reboot but I would expect it to auto-negotiate and I've plugged and unplugged the cable a few times now :-( Link to comment
dyrewolfe Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Have you tried turning off auto-negotiation on both sides and using fixed speed? Link to comment
dgaschk Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 There was a recent problem with a cable that would connect at 1000 on one machine but not on the unRAID machine. A new cable fixed the problem. Link to comment
S80_UK Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That is the make/model of the switch? Link to comment
BLKMGK Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have swapped cables to include using a pre-terminated one - the distance is about 5ft. DGS-1024D is the switch, working fine for my workstation and my other server :-( Oh turning off auto-negotiaion on the unRAID how? Doubt the switch will allow that... Link to comment
lionelhutz Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Try resetting the switch or router. I mean a complete power-off, wait 10 seconds and then power back up. Peter Link to comment
