VNET help

[cygnus]

Hi all, just suffered a motherboard failure but managed to source a new one and migrated all data disks and had to reload freenas onto a usb drive and used a very recent backup to restore freenas back - but I have an issue now where I'm not able to get plex plugin running either via the jail or plugin as I get a VNET error as follows. Any help greatly appreciated.

On FreeNAS-11.2-U5

I've obviously got to change something but my nextcloud plugin starts fine! I'm not sure but I wondered if the interface name changes or has a different value?

Which version were you running before the reinstall?

 

[cygnus]

The Plex plugin was the latest as I had upgraded, I'm thinking it might be better to re-install the plugin now as a new instance and copy over the plex database but I have no idea which files I'd need from the old instance and I really dont want to go through all the hassle of adjusting the movie tiles, pictures back grounds etc.

 

[dlavigne]

Sorry, I meant which version of FreeNAS as there were some vnet changes in earlier 11.2 releases.

 

[cygnus]

Ah OK - FreeNAS-11.2-U5 both before and after

 

[cygnus]

I wondered if the ethernet interface might have changed as I cant be sure but thought it was bge0 and now is em0 on the server? And whether this might have an issue with VNET or Plex instance.
Many thanks

Saw your message and figured I'd try to help ... arguably others are MUCH more qualified, but ifconfig output would be a nice starting point.

• Personally, I run 3 interfaces from a MLNX ConnectX-3 with options "mtu 9000 lro tso4" (understood the widely held notion is that jumbo doesn't make a big enough difference to matter, but it does on my systems.
• VNET won't work using any of those existing three interfaces as it requires a non-jumbo interface, thus vmx2 (INTL X540-AT2).
• So when I create a new jail from CLI, I might use
  
• Which tells iocage to use that non-jumbo vmx2 interface and all works well.

Just wanted to toss this out there in case something similar on your end or if it helps to jog your memory.

Thanks for the update I decided to blow away the old Plex Instance and create a new one as I dont have to much on there and this is now working.
