5GbE TrueNAS Scale Beta 1

[crkinard]

Yeah yea. Using a beta OS to connect to a beta OS and there will be issues.

Anyhow...

Connecting Windows 11 to Scale Beta 1 and cannot get 5GbE working.
The TrueNAS box had Core on it and the Windows box was in 10. 5GbE was working fine. Now it will only connect via 1GbE.
No hardware has been changed. Just wondering if anyone knows if there are any issues with 5GbE in Scale currently.

Kicking the Windows 11 machine back to 10 tonight or tomorrow so I HOPE that is all it is... cause like a dumb ass I created a new pool in Scale B1 and migrated my data.
AFIK, it has a newer version of ZFS so I don't think Core will mount it now.

It all depends on the specific NIC and whether its a well supported 5Gbe driver..... I doubt there is any relationship to Windows 11. Windows 11 may have issues, but they won't impact the Linux host machine's network.

Humm , back to figuring out why.

Seems I can force it to 5GbE with: ethtool -s ens7f0 speed 5000

But does not survive a reboot. More info...

Code:

truenas# ethtool -i ens7f0
driver: ixgbe
version: 5.10.42+truenas
firmware-version: 0x80001377

bus-info: 0000:04:00.0

Oh yea, DERP... card is a X550-T2.

Put 'ethtool -s ens7f0 speed 5000 ' in a startup command via the GUI to 'fix' the issue for now.

Thanks man, I hope this works.
