Bug 190692 – udev 114 causes problems with vlan devices

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Andrew Belousoff 2007-08-29 20:29:18 UTC]

I update udev package from udev-104-r13 to udev-114.
After this update VLAN is not properly up at boot.
On my server setting up 3 network interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2). On each interface I have from 5 to 20 VLANs.
In boot time server print diferent messages about not properly up VLAN interfaces and attempts initialise different network interfaces which i not have physicaly.
On one boot system not up with errors something like:
Adding VLAN 31 to eth0 - OK
Can't find device eth0.31 ....
Config for eth22 not find. Try dhclinet....

Adding VLAN 178 to eth1 - OK
Can't add VLAN 178 to eth1.....
Config for eth57 not find. Try dhclient......

Where from system find ETH57 or ETH22 ?

In next reboot, this VLANs normal up, but other VLANs failed with same errors.

Created attachment 129576 [details]
70-persistent-net.rules and emerge --info

Ugly errors this persistent-net causes if it contains some typos. Like this one upstream had (already fixed). We detected this first via Bug 189042.

The solution is this change to 75-persistent-net-generator.rules file
change the two occurences of DRIVERS!="?*" to DRIVERS=="?*".
Either do this change by hand, or update to at least udev-114-r2 (better use udev-115).

Also delete all redundant entries from 70-persisten-net.rules (The ones with empty "()" in comment).

As noted above, already fixed in >=udev-114-r2
