I run vm's under qemu/kvm, and noticed lots of messages like these popping up in the logs: 1: kernel: Process 'net.sh macvtap3 stop' failed with exit code 1. 1: kernel: Process 'net.sh macvtap6 stop' failed with exit code 1. 1: kernel: Process 'net.sh macvtap8 start' failed with exit code 1. 1: kernel: Process 'net.sh macvtap9 start' failed with exit code 1. I tracked it down to the /lib/udev/net.sh installed by netifcr, specifically: is_service_enabled() { local svc="$1" [ ! -e "/etc/init.d/${svc}" ] && return 1 [ -e "/etc/runlevels/boot/${svc}" ] && return 0 [ -e "/etc/runlevels/default/${svc}" ] && return 0 [ -e "/etc/runlevels/sysinit/${svc}" ] && return 0 return 1 } The macvtap interfaces created by qemu don't have init scripts, so this udev helper script always fails 8-/. It seems this code: # ignore interfaces that are registered after being "up" (?) case ${IFACE} in ppp*|ippp*|isdn*|plip*|lo*|irda*|dummy*|ipsec*|tun*|tap*|br*) exit 0 ;; esac should be extended to include 'macvtap*'?
Any thoughts on this?
Pending merging https://github.com/gentoo/netifrc/pull/32 Would appreciate if you tested that.
