Hello,
After installing vmware3 and recompiling the kernel for various vmware3
changes, I now get about 1/14 the speed for all local network traffic
downstream. *Upstream however, everything is about what it used to
be. There are no other problems - strange kernel or vmware error messages,
and the speed of vmware3 and my native bsd programs are excellent. This
occurs after vmware3 is installed. Vmware3 does not have to be running for
the downstream speed issue to be present.
My first reaction is this is unavoidable due to the kernel settings
required for vmware to work, but because everything works OK upstream,
perhaps I have set something up improperly?
The only other thing I noticed was that I can't set debug.mpsafenet=0,
as it is readonly. But I do have the kernel option NET_WITH_GIANT compiled.
Below are the configuration options I set, and my system information.
I appreciate any help!
Thanks,
- Jonathan
5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
kernel is GENERIC plus these options:
options NET_WITH_GIANT
options HZ=1200
/boot/loader.conf (contains only):
aio_load="YES"
/etc/sysctl.conf (contains only):
debug.mpsafenet=0
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1
VMware settings (I'm only using bridged)
vmnet1.Bridged = "YES"
vmnet1.BridgeInterface = "vr0"
vmnet1.HostOnlyAddress = "192.168.0.1"
vmnet1.HostOnlyNetMask = "255.255.255.0"
* - Speeds measured with bsd programs (outside the VM). Tried both FTP and
a Samba connection to a machine that normally gives out data at 7MB/s.
