January 19, 20251 yr I want to go back to using bonding on my unRAID 6.12.14 server, but the UI will not allow me to do it. Specifically, after enabling bonding and selecting 802.3ad mode, the UI will only show one ethernet port under Bonding Members. So eth0 can only bond with eth0 and the same with eth1. I've tried multiple reboots, verified both ethernet ports on active and shown in unRAID, verified the nic is in a x16 slot using x8 PCIe lanes, and also removed the Tips & Tweaks plugin because that was giving unreliable information. I would change a setting on Tips & Tweaks, like disable NIC Flow Control, but the Current NIC Settings column would still show the NIC Flow Control was enabled. Does anyone else have this issue or know how I can resolve it? myers19-diagnostics-20250119-1412.zip
January 20, 20251 yr Community Expert I would recommend upgrading the latest stable release v7.0 due to kernel level drivers installed and updated... tips n tweaks requires reboots to apply some settings once changed as that is when they are set. what is the output of ip a and ip link ip a ip link you may need to up the interface. a drive may be need for this nic to install. Usually when dealing with 10GB networks I have and used ich777 melnox plugin. as for some reason libs or other settings that plug did fixed things for me.... It is not required, though... there were other forum post lost here with similar issues.. as there may be a windows side firmware that is needed on that card before use with linux. example v20 update: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ie/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=23wp1
January 21, 20251 yr Author @bmartino1 Here you go. This is with eth1 Disabled on my switch since it would cause STP errors. Let me know if you would like me to enable eth1 and place it on another network. root@Myers19:~# ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: tunl0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc mq master br0 state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 98:b7:85:1e:b6:46 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 6: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 9000 qdisc mq master br1 state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 98:b7:85:1e:b6:47 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 7: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 98:b7:85:1e:b6:46 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.10.12/24 brd 192.168.10.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute br0 valid_lft 5182952sec preferred_lft 4534952sec 8: br1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 98:b7:85:1e:b6:47 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 9: docker0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default link/ether 02:42:9b:e6:28:81 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.17.0.1/16 brd 172.17.255.255 scope global docker0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever root@Myers19:~# ip link 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: tunl0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc mq master br0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 98:b7:85:1e:b6:46 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 6: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 9000 qdisc mq master br1 state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 98:b7:85:1e:b6:47 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 7: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 98:b7:85:1e:b6:46 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 8: br1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 98:b7:85:1e:b6:47 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 9: docker0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 02:42:9b:e6:28:81 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff I don't like switching to new version releases until a month or more after they release. I'm also thinking of starting fresh with 7.0.0.

January 21, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution If remembering right go to br1 and uncheck it. (This may work for bond too). Sort of like releasing it for use. Then see if it's available to add to br0.

Then see if it's available to add to br0. I never even thought of unchecking eth1 from being its own bridge member, so that it would be available to eth0. Thank you so much for the help. I really think eth0 should be able to override any current settings on eth1, but hopefully I'll remember this in the future. root@Myers19:~# iperf3 -c 192.168.10.10 Connecting to host 192.168.10.10, port 5201 [ 5] local 192.168.10.12 port 45504 connected to 192.168.10.10 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 1.10 GBytes 9.45 Gbits/sec 702 647 KBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 1.13 GBytes 9.69 Gbits/sec 236 577 KBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 1.13 GBytes 9.70 Gbits/sec 314 664 KBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 1.10 GBytes 9.46 Gbits/sec 559 647 KBytes [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 1.12 GBytes 9.63 Gbits/sec 298 612 KBytes [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 1.12 GBytes 9.65 Gbits/sec 396 647 KBytes [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 1.09 GBytes 9.38 Gbits/sec 479 682 KBytes [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 1.10 GBytes 9.49 Gbits/sec 501 751 KBytes [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 1.13 GBytes 9.69 Gbits/sec 159 664 KBytes [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 1.13 GBytes 9.70 Gbits/sec 151 682 KBytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 11.2 GBytes 9.58 Gbits/sec 3795 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 11.1 GBytes 9.58 Gbits/sec receiver iperf Done. root@Myers19:~#
