[PVE-User] Network optimization: ethtool and jumbo frames...

[Marco Gaiarin]

I'm thinking about network optimization, both fiddling with ethernet
parameters like buffers (ethtool -g) or hardware options (ethtool -k):
someone have some clue?


Also, as suggested by most docs i've enabled jumbo frames within the SAN
and connected switches. But still the nodes have standard 1500 MTU.
Two question:

1) i'm using an LACP bond, and because i need to use the SAN also
 within guests, a bridge.
 I've to enable jumbo frame (eg, MTU=9000) within phisical interfaces
 (ethX), the bond interfaces bondX, the bridges vmbrX or all of those?
 I suppose all, but...

2) there's no way, in web interface, to set 'mtu 9000' for interfaces;
 i can add by hand, but looking at google i get some (old) hit from
 forum and ML that make me think that the option does not work...
 someone can provide me some info?


Thanks.
