Hi all, I'm working on a system with multiple network cards configured as follows:
eth0 - WAN connection eth1 ---\ |-- Bonded (bond0) Lan connection eth2 ---/ Currently, my /etc/network/interfaces file lists the interfaces in the following order: auto eth0 eth0 configuration data... auto bond0 bond0 configuration data... The system boots without issue using the above configurations and both interfaces are brought up and can be accessed via SSH. As soon as I place an entry into the fstab for a network mount on the bonded interface (and I've tested this with both NFS and Samba), the system times out on boot when trying to mount the NFS/SMB share. If I change the order in the interfaces file to bond0, eth0, the system boots without issue. I have reformatted the server and started from scratch and experienced exactly the same issue. All cards are intel gigabit cards using the e1000 module and the server is a Supermicro 1U super server. Although I can re-order the interfaces file to get this to work, I do not believe this to be a fix, purely a workround and, quite frankly, if I wanted a base O/S that was full of workarounds, I'd use windows... :oP Has anyone else experienced this or am I looking at a potential bug here?
