Is there a problem with VirtIO NIC of VM in ElectricEel-24.10-BETA.1?

I upgrade scale to ElectricEel-24.10-BETA.1. And found the docker network speed in Virtual machine is very slow. It works fine in 24.04.2. Almost all of my docker container run in VM since I don’t like Truecharts productions and k3s.

I tried to switch the NIC from VirtIO to Intel e82585(E1000), it works fine again. So I think the problem is the VirtIO driver of 24.10 version.

I seem to be facing the same issue. Could you share how you switched away from the VirtIO NIC? I would like to try the same solution.

You would have to go to the Network Interface Screen in the VM settings in the TrueNAS GUI. I think you just change Adapter Type.

get into the Device option, and change the Adapter Type in NIC option.

Thank you for this post! I had 2 vm’s on ElectricEel-24.10.0.2 and they both stopped randomly for no reason. I ended up moving one VM to another server (running ElectricEel-24.10.2.1) but I changed the remaining vm’s nic to the intel and the problem went away! I will eventually upgrade the older version but it is a busy production server and I haven’t had the opportunity yet.
