>>106935227naggers thong my asus
A few days ago I got 2 NIC cards to connect my local desktop directly to my primary NAS/build server. The NICs are dual 10Gbe X540 cards that I have set up in an 802.3ad bond to try and get a cheap 20Gbe connection between the two systems, with routing policies set up to avoid my much slower 2.5Gbe LAN network.The problem is that both cards seem to report errors after a few minutes for no apparent reason:[ 2086.608587] ixgbe 0000:06:00.0: Adapter removed[ 2086.823808] ixgbe 0000:06:00.1: Adapter removedLiterally cannot find any other error messages for this. It just says NO-CARRIER when this happens, and before this error it works perfectly fine and I can reach ~16Gb/s (likely limited by 4x PCIe but that's fine by me). Any ideas? I thought Intel NICs would be fairly higher quality.
>stopped being interested in /hsg/ when i got my unlimited fiber connectionwhy do humans only desire the unobtainable?
>>106935490You can always go faster
>>106935346Are they in Linux? Check the drivers being used are the correct ones for the chips in those NICs
>>106935490I have 5g/5g fiber, I still like hsg
>>106935631They're Intel cards, so I would expect the `ixgbe` drivers are the correct ones. They work properly for quite a while after reboots, but then they just suddenly say they're down. Not sure why though.
>>106935346>>106935748Are they genuine cards or chinkshit counterfeits? Are they overheating? Is the firmware on them outdated?
>>106935908Got them from here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D13YVP9210GTek is definitely chink shit, but the controllers onboard seem to be genuine and they seem like a fine OEM.Not seeing any firmware updates.Also not seeing any data from lm_sensors that report the device's temperatures, so no idea if they're overheating. That might be a good guess if it's happening after using them for a few minutes though.
>>106935346I think they're overheating. check sensors for temps.
>>10693599110gtek is quality chinkshit. They actually build their own boards. I use 10gtek in enterprise applications all the time.Make sure they have airflow over them. In the worst case you can take a 60 or 80mm fan and make a shitty shroud out of a milk jug or something. I don't know if those would be fine with a fan zip tied directly to the heat sink because the RJ45 cards are going to use more power than an SFP+ card with optics in them, so it might actually require you to put a fan near the back of the pcie slot to keep air moving across the heatsink and some chips/resistors on the back side of the card. It will /probably/ be fine with just a fan on the heatsink, but I won't tell you it's certain.Oh, and if you wind up going with a shroud to make a wind tunnel, Hood milk jugs are the best ones for this. Decent quality plastic that you can form by just boiling a pot of water, dropping it in for a few seconds and crimping it into shape while it's hot. Splash it with cold water and it'll hold its shape pretty well. You can 3d print stuff or use pvc drain pipe (you don't want schedule 40), but it's hard to beat spending an extra dollar or two on your next gallon of milk for doing stupid shit like this. You could probably also do it with a 1.5L bottle from one of those retarded "premium water" brands.

Is tailscale gud? I want to get into my home network when on the go to pull/push files, next cloud, music streaming. Or should I just night the bullet and get an rdns and set up a VPN?
>>106936365its ok but honestly netbird is better
>>106936365Tailscale makes it push-button easy for edge cases like cgNAT but involves using their services, making an account, etc. If you're not behind cgNAT yes set up a VPN and use dynamic DNS if your IP isn't static.For the VPN I'd recommend wireguard, it was a game-changer over openvpn for me for remote access on flaky client connections (cellular).
>>106937056lmaobut speaking of, anyone tried those broken tab hook jackets?
if i want to set up my own nas at home, what are some footguns i should watch out for?
>>106937925Don't get all excited and start buying random shit. Decide on what you actually want from the NAS, then start small and work up. ie if you just want to stream some movies and store photos, use an old laptop with an external HDD. It can be quite an expensive undertaking and you don't want to buy a lot of gear and later find out it's unsuitable for your needs. You can decide on how resilient you want your setup to be, how much capacity it will have, how open it is to future upgrades and so on once you have an idea of exactly how much you will be using the system and for what.Also as an aside, the software side of things is basically free nowdays. Even modest CPU's in old computers can virtualise so you can test drive all the different OS's and applications you want before settling on one.
