Very strange. I only tried it on my machine a few months with a crypto accelerator board and it worked completely perfectly once I got the command line syntax figured out. The board worked fine and produced the expected level of acceleration of crypto performance in my extensive load testing.
Perhaps if you tried making sure to deactivate the interfaces, and unload the igb module, as a temporary test, to be 100% sure it got fully unbound from the host OS it might help isolate the cause of the issue. I had the advantage that my host OS did not have an integrated driver so I couldn't experience as many resource conflicts as your environment. Can you also try another peripheral in the passthrough to see if that change the result as well? Matthew. -- Sent from my mobile device.
