November 5, 201510 yr I was doing some cleaning up on my unraid server 6.1.3 and notice in the dashboard that my eth0 was reporting 100/full not 1000. My board is a gigabyte with a realtek nic, and i have been reading the other post about some goofy anomalies. Everything in my network is gigabit so I Know that is not the issue. I did a quick "ifconfig" and sure enough is reporting a gig i wonder why unraid states it is not, prior to the latest update it did say 1000full. eth0: flags=4419<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 50:e5:49:57:3c:1e txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 148296302 bytes 198267741123 (184.6 GiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 91167762 bytes 30310912674 (28.2 GiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 Just thought i asked, performance does not seem to be hampered.

November 5, 201510 yr You might want to check your cabling, since the speed is negotiated down to 100 Mb/s.
November 5, 201510 yr Author I will, its running cat6 , but that command gives me more details. I will make sure that i didnt pooch something.
November 6, 201510 yr I will, its running cat6 , but that command gives me more details. I will make sure that i didnt pooch something. It is always worth trying an alternative cable as if any of the connections inside a cat6 cable are defective then speed will be negotiated down to 100Mb (as that requires less connections).
November 6, 201510 yr Author Thank you guys for the suggestions but I found the culprit. My pfSense box has two added nics and they are only 10/100. They are connected to my asus rt n66u (only used for wifi) which i used the ports as a switch (they are Gigbit) however when i connected my firewall box it slowed the whole switch. I did have gig card in my previous box but they turn out not to be supported by pfsense. Sooooo unraid is working perfectly.
