Package: ifenslave-2.6 Version: 1.1.0-6 Severity: normal Tags: patch Problems found:
On "ifdown -a" or "ifdown bond0", the script /etc/network/if-down.d/ifenslave tries to loop through each interface configured in the "slave" stanza of the interface configuration to --detach it using ifenslave binary. This results in an warning about duplicate MAC addresses. Furthermore the bond device is still active, it's not brought down, even if it has no IP and MAC configuration. Diagnosis: This results in an warning about duplicate MAC addresses. It's because the bond-device gets it's MAC from the first enslaved device. If this device is the first detached from the bond (always assuming that there are at least 2 devices in an bond ) the detached device and the bond device will have the same MAC. Solution: Replace the for-loop in if-down.d script with a simple ifconfig $IFACE down This ensures the bond to be deassembled properly (it's also preferred in the man-page of bonding). All enslaved devices are released and the bond device is defenitivly down. Thats all. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages ifenslave-2.6 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries Versions of packages ifenslave-2.6 recommends: ii net-tools 1.60-17 The NET-3 networking toolkit -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
