Description Stephen Cavilia 2008-12-23 02:31:42 UTC
On a system with multiple network interfaces (e.g. laptop with ethernet and wifi) and both net.* services in default runlevel, any services that depend on networking will only start if the first enabled interface starts.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add two or more net.* services to runlevel default
2. make first network fail and second one start normally

Actual Results:  
eth0 fails to start but eth1 does start, rc refuses to start network services after this:

Dec 22 20:59:57 kwyjibo /etc/init.d/pdnsd[4215]: ERROR: cannot start pdnsd as net.eth0 would not start
Dec 22 21:00:00 kwyjibo /etc/init.d/netmount[4275]: ERROR: cannot start netmount as net.eth0 would not start
Dec 22 21:00:22 kwyjibo /etc/init.d/apache2[4437]: ERROR: cannot start apache2 as net.eth0 would not start
Dec 22 21:00:23 kwyjibo /etc/init.d/chronyd[4453]: ERROR: cannot start chronyd as net.eth0 would not start
Dec 22 21:00:27 kwyjibo /etc/init.d/ddclient[4481]: ERROR: cannot start ddclient as net.eth0 would not start

Disabling eth0 will cause these services to depend on eth1, allowing them to start

Expected Results:  
With baselayout-2's rc, services with "need net" will start if ANY non-lo network is available; openrc seems to make them depend specifically on the first one listed in the runlevel.

Please post your 'emerge --info'. Which version of openrc do you have installed?

Comment 3 Panagiotis Christopoulos (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-26 16:21:22 UTC
I'm sorry but, it seems that you 're wrong here. This happens because by default, in /etc/rc.conf there is the rc_depend_strict="YES" line. If you set it to NO, there won't be any problems like these you describe. I paste the full information about that variable/option from /etc/rc.conf:

# Do we allow any started service in the runlevel to satisfy the depedency
# or do we want all of them regardless of state? For example, if net.eth0
# and net.eth1 are in the default runlevel then with rc_depend_strict="NO"
# both will be started, but services that depend on 'net' will work if either
# one comes up. With rc_depend_strict="YES" we would require them both to
# come up.
rc_depend_strict="YES"

I resolve the bug as TEST-REQUEST. Check the above information, and reopen only if you still believe that there is a real bug here. 
Comment 4 Stephen Cavilia 2008-12-26 22:13:21 UTC
Yeah i was looking at rc.conf the other day and found rc_depend_strict (not sure how I missed it the first time during the upgrade other than the fact that the old conf.d/rc had it as no by default for as long as i can remember)
