The bonding rc script tries to set the slaves and primary before is up, which results in the following error message: /lib64/rc/net/bonding.sh: line 48: echo: write error: Operation not permitted Also the primary slave will not be set as configured. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a bond in /etc/conf.d/net: config_bond0="192.168.127.1/32" mode_bond0="active-backup" miimon_bond0="100" slaves_bond0="eth2" primary_bond0="eth2" 2. sysfs has to be mounted 3. Start bond: /etc/init.d/net.bond0 start Actual Results: Outout is: * Bringing up interface bond0 /lib/rc/net/bonding.sh: line 48: echo: write error: Operation not permitted /lib/rc/net/bonding.sh: line 48: echo: write error: Operation not permitted * Adding slaves to bond0 ... * eth2 [ ok ] * 192.168.127.1/32 ... [ ok ] Primary is not set: # cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/primary Expected Results: No error messages. Primary should be set in /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/primary
Created attachment 242373 [details, diff] Solve bonding problems with slaves and primary The solution is quiet simple: - put content from slaves_${IFVAR} and primary_${IFVAR} into local variables - unset slaves_${IFVAR} and primary_${IFVAR} to have them not written to sysfs in line 48 - handle primary (if set) on its own before other slaves
I've check this and it looks good. A slightly modified version of this patch will be in the next version bump. Thanks.
