March 21, 200818 yr After getting some much appreciated help with some ACPI issues, I finally got my unRAID system up. 500GBx2, with 1 parity. The initial parity sync was at about 55MB/sec, which I understand is normal. Then I decided to transfer some files (ie write) to unraid and I'm getting about 1Mbyte/sec...horrible. So after poking around, I do an "ethtool eth0" and low and behold, my connection is at 10Mb/s! I have a linksys WRT54G router with Tomato 1.17 firmware. This router is supposed to be 10/100, so I should be getting at least a 100Mb/sec connection. I'm not entirely sure this is an unraid issue as much as a router issue, but if you have any ideas what causes a network autonegotiation to choose a slower network speed, I'd appreciate it.
March 21, 200818 yr First step... try a different cable between the router and the unRaid server. A poor quality, or mis-wired cable can cause the speed to be adjusted downward. Attach a copy of your syslog if the issue still continues. Joe L.
