CaptainSpalding Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I have had these errors in the past but now when I'm moving stuff to unraid I get many "Tower kernel: sky2 0000:03:00.0 eth0: rx error, status 0x5ea0002 length 1514" errors? Could it be my NIC or is this software based? Transfers seem to go ok, but that is really annoying, can this effect transfer speeds? What controllers are suggested nowadays? Quote Link to comment
earthworm Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 A wild guess but it looks like possibly an MTU issue. Quote Link to comment
CaptainSpalding Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ok, what could I do to repair that? Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Paste the output of "ethtool eth0" and "ifconfig" into a post. Quote Link to comment
CaptainSpalding Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have rebooted after the first post, but got one of these "kernel: sky2 0000:03:00.0 eth0: rx error, status 0x5ea0002 length 1514" before capped the below details. ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: No Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pg Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) Link detected: yes ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr inet addr:192.168.0.196 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:68720958 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2 TX packets:8408302 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:94019309288 (87.5 GiB) TX bytes:90662704252 (84.4 GiB) Interrupt:17 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:2712 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2712 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:447171 (436.6 KiB) TX bytes:447171 (436.6 KiB) Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Check for a MB BIOS update. Quote Link to comment
CaptainSpalding Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I have the latest bios. It's like 6 years old board so I don't think they even update the bios anymore. 2009 was the lastest update. I was just thinking what does that error mean? Is it fatal? I am thinking of upgrading the hw at some point, but it's just that I really like the board with 8 onboard sata connections and 2x PCI-e (x8). And it's ASUS. I would not want to upgrade to a hot Haswell and those 3rd generation boards with even about the same specs are very rare find. If not bought from ebay. Why are those supermicro boards so damn expensive even though they do not have features to support the price? Slow expansion slots, only few onboard satas.... why? Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Could be a problem with the Ethernet switch or switch port. Quote Link to comment
