Nop, just 'eth0 already configured' when restarting via /etc/init.d/networking Haven't got access to the console and no errors were found in any of the logfiles. > Which means that you have specified the netmask twice: > > > iface eth0 inet6 static > > address 2001:610:611:2::42/64 > > netmask 64 > > Previously, ifupdown was using ifconfig which would silently swallow > this and just set it up, but iproute (which we use now) does complain. > Probably, in the next upload I will teach ifupdown to cope with this, > but this isn't strictly a valid configuration. When correcting the error, all interfaces are back online again after reboot. When finding an error in the interfaces file, the bootscript fails and quits. I don't think this is desirable behaviour. I would skip to the next interface and resume there. > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::4/64 > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::140/64 > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::141/64 > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::142/64 > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::143/64 > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::144/64 > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::145/64 > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::146/64 > > up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:610:611:2::642/64 > This is not needed any more, by the way, you can specify as many 'iface > eth0 inet6 static' sections as you want.
