Smb and a specific NIC

[satom]

Hi there,

 

i use in my Unraid Server one Mellanox ConnectX-3 10 GBit and 2 Onboard Intel Gigabit NIC, all connectet to a Switch. All

with static ip4, all in the same network. Metric ist set to 1, 2 and 3.

 

If i copy a big file from my pc to a (ssd) cached share i get untuned 400+ mb/sec, looks like

the Mellanox on eth0 is used. If i copy the same file back i reach around 100mb/sec - in use

is eth2. Why? I think i have a mistake in my network config (perhaps in my brain ...

 

As first fix i disable the 2 Intel Nics, but i like to know what is wrong and i will use the

expensive onboards ...

 

Any hints and comments are welcome

 

          Regards,

You can add the 10GbE IP to your Windows hosts files (that's what I do) or connect by IP address and always use the 10GbE IP.

Sure, but i want to know why the defined metrics are ignored.

I'm on 6.9.1 and i noticed that if the default route is eth1 even if i connect through the ip of eth0 copying files are still going through eth1.

Only if you have both ports on the same network, which you must not do. Use, say, 192.168.0.x/24 for eth0 and 192.168.1.y/24 for eth1.
