Public bug reported: Release: Ubuntu 12.04 ifenslave-2.6 1.1.0-19ubuntu5
At boot time bonding interfaces are activated fine. But if I manually ifdown the bonding interface and subsequently ifup it againt the physical network cards are not enslaved. I use the following configuration: auto extern iface extern inet static address 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 bond-mode 1 bond-miimon 100 bond-slaves none auto eth0 allow-extern eth0 iface eth0 inet manual bond-master extern auto eth2 allow-extern eth2 iface eth2 inet manual bond-master extern Situation after boot: # cat /proc/net/bonding/extern Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: eth0 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:26:2d:05:37:2f Slave queue ID: 0 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:15:17:f6:ec:d9 Slave queue ID: 0 When issuing ifdown and subsequently ifup the following is displayed: # ifup extern Waiting for a slave to join extern (will timeout after 60s) No slave joined extern, continuing anyway Failed to bring up extern. By the way, replacing extern with a typical bonding-device name as bond1 does not change the behaviour. Adding bond-primary eth0 eth2 to all stanzas does not change the behavior. Changing bond-slaves to bond-slaves eth0 eth2 does not change the behaviour. README.Debian states that if both bond-master and bond-slaves is used bond-slaves is ignored. The only way to correct the behaviour is to manually ifup eth0 and ifup eth2. I thought this is the responsibility of the allow-extern eth0/eth2 lines. ** Affects: ifenslave-2.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073820 Title: ifdown/ifup of bond interface does not add slaves To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6/+bug/1073820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
