Hey, first off, thanks to Tom for all the hard work!

 

So, I've just upgraded from 5.0-rc3 to the latest rc-10 release, and everything went fine, except for the speed of my Intel Pro/1000 Nic seems to be stuck on 100, and I can't change it (using the eth0 command) to 1000?

 

The reason I noticed was slow data transfer to Unraid across the network, and I initially thought it might have been the excess memory issue mentioned elsewhere (I had 8Gb RAM - though incidentally, despite showing up as 8Gb in rc3, since upgrading to rc10, it only showed as 4Gb - so I pulled out 4Gb, but it's made no difference).

 

Please see the below - I'm not sure if the "Interrupt Throttling Rate" might be the culprit? Any ideas gratefully received!

Bad cat 5e or cat 6 cable can cause this.  (100Mbs uses only 4 wires-- 1000Mbs use all 8.)

Thanks - however changing the Cat cables makes no difference (and Unraid connected at a gig using the original cables in rc-03)....??

Ignore me - FIXED - turns out it was an issue with my network switch....

 

Cheers
