Traffic rate for "eth0" higher than set maximum 100 Mbit

[rymax99]

Noticed that in an error log. As I know it, NFO VDS's are on 1 Gbps ports, but the OS is seeming to want to limit it to 100 Mbps (Debian 7). Anyone know a solution to this?

Xen emulates a 1 Gbps Intel adapter that the OS should fall back to using if it doesn't apply PV-on-HVM drivers (which all modern Linux flavors should). You should never see a 100 Mbps adapter. Are you sure that it's not 1000 Mbps or 10000 Mbps? Where are you seeing this?

I could be misled, I can't seem to find a working command to check the actual speed, nothing seems to work.

I'm seeing a few of these messages in /var/log/syslog:

Code: Select all

Apr 22 19:37:03 s1 vnstatd[3055]: Traffic rate for "eth0" higher than set maximum 100 Mbit (30->413, r1215 t65), syncing.

What would be a command to check the speed?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

This log line tells me that you installed software called "vnstatd" which is guessing the adapter speed wrong and getting confused when you exceed its guess. You will need to adjust its configuration to let it know the real speed of the adapter or to tell it to have no maximum (MaxBandwidth 0).

Ah, I read I didn't read it correctly. Thanks!
