[Devil-Linux-discuss] Bonding Bug

[Bradlee L. <bra...@gm...>]

I'm having some trouble with bonding. I don't know if these are bugs
with the /etc/init.d/network, or the bonding module, or what.

First of all, the miimon sometimes stops working in all bonds. If you
look at /proc/net/bonding/bondX, it will sometimes say "100", but at
other times, it just goes to 0 so that it does not detect when the
link is non-existent. I'm not sure what causes it.

Secondly, I have not completely tested this, but from what I see in
/etc/init.d/network, it looks like if ONBOOT=no, then the script does
absolutely nothing. It doesn't take the interface down when you do
/etc/init.d/network stop, it just leaves it. I personally think that
it should take down every single interface, even if a file does not
exist in /etc/sysconfig/nic/ for the device.


-- /etc/modprobe.conf --
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 -o bond0 mode=0 miimon=100
...
-- EOF --


BTW, I am still using 1.4RC1, as I'm still waiting on LCD4Linux to be
put back in. Maybe these issues are no longer a problem, but you might
take a look at them.

Thanks,
