Package: ipvsadm Version: 1.24+1.21-1 Severity: important
Hi, I'm reporting this bug as it has come up on the LVS mailing list several times, most recently http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-users/2005-09/msg00118.html The init script for ipvsadm shipped with Debian seems to check for the existence of /proc/net/ip_vs_conn, and reports that LVS is not available if it does not exist. Unfortunately, this will always be the case on kernels that have LVS as modules, as all recent Debian kernels do. While this problem is largely harmless, especially as a lot of users configre LVS using tools other than debian's init script, it does confuse new users. Would it be possible to issue ipvsadm -L before checking /proc/net/ip_vs_conn. This should automatically load the ip_vs module and cause /proc/net/ip_vs_conn to exist. As it will be autoloaded, it should get unloaded in time if ipvs isn't actually used.
