Package: ucarp Version: 1.5.2-1 Severity: critical ucarp'd router went down today. We have about 40-50 vlans on it, on eth0.$X for eg.
When its redundant twin went to pickup the vip's, some :ucarp interfaces did not get configured. This is because 40 copies of ifup ran at once, and stepped on eachothers toes, erasing the statefile: ifup: failed to overwrite statefile /etc/network/run/ifstate: No such file or directory furthermore this was not logged. using ifup --force in /usr/share/ucarp/vip-up might help, but that might also be dangerous, if Im reading correctly regarding recent ifupdown-related changes and related packages providing ifupdown scripts. additionally, while we're at it adding [ -x /usr/bin/arping ] && /usr/bin/arping -c 1 -q -I "$1" -U "$2" || \ [ -x /usr/sbin/arping ] && /usr/sbin/arping -c 1 -q -B -s "$2" -i "$1" (not sure if -A is better than -U for the first arpping line) to the vip-up script might be handy (from the iputils-arping pkg, not arping.deb...).
