Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.8
Severity: normal
Debian Version: 7.3 Wheezy
Kernel: 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 i686 GNU/Linux
When using ifup to bring interface eth0:2 up I get the following output:
#: ifup eth0:2
cat: /sys/class/net/eth0:2/operstate: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net# ls -alh
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 31 10:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 35 root root 0 Jan 31 10:15 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 31 10:15 eth0 ->
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:02:00.0/net/eth0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 31 10:15 eth1 ->
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/net/eth1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 31 10:15 lo -> ../../devices/virtual/net/lo
The interface still comes online despite the unwanted output.
This same behaviour was reported in bug 67010 (I have not check if this
also happens on boot, I would presume so), and was closed due the issue
being resolved in ifupdown version 0.7.1. I have check that I have the
patched version of the /etc/init.d/networking file, and it appears so:
/etc/init.d/networking
103: if [ -e "/sys/class/net/$link" ]
&& [ "$(cat /sys/class/net/$link/operstate)" = up ]
This occurs on all of our servers that I have tested on, they are all
the exact same build software wise.
