Package: ipvsadm Version: 1:1.28-3+b1 When invoking /etc/init.d/ipvsadm with appropriate /etc/default/ipvsadm configuration, the sync daemons are not started. Following errors are printed Jan 03 16:07:24 server ipvsadm[31118]: Starting IPVS Connection Synchronization Daemon: masterTry `/sbin/ipvsadm -h' or '/sbin/ipvsadm --help' for more information. Jan 03 16:07:24 server ipvsadm[31118]: backupTry `/sbin/ipvsadm -h' or '/sbin/ipvsadm --help' for more information. Jan 03 16:07:24 server ipvsadm[31118]: failed!
They are caused by the errors in init script. Lines $IPVSADM --syncid $SYNCID --start-daemon $DAEMON --mcast-interface \ $IFACE --syncid $SYNCID || log_end_msg 1 should be changed to $IPVSADM --start-daemon $DAEMON --mcast-interface \ $IFACE --syncid $SYNCID || log_end_msg 1 The another error is related to not processed IPVSADM_CONFIG file. It is defined, but not executed and thus not effective. Line [ -f "${IPVSADM_CONFIG}" ] && . "${IPVSADM_CONFIG}" should be put after variable initializations. Also rewrite to systemd service file will be useful. Peter
