Yes you are right. e1000e 0000:05:00.1: eth1: Jumbo frames cannot be enabled when both receive checksum offload and receive hashing are enabled. Disable one of the receive offload features before enabling jumbos. How stupid of me to not see that. After turning rxhash of, setting of mtu to 9000 is possible again. $ sudo ethtool -K eth1 rxhash off $ sudo ip link set eth1 mtu 9000 Sorry to have wasted your time. -- Christer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
