I just upgraded from openrc-0.8.3 to 0.9.9.3 (with upgrade to sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20120127084908) and I cannot find any places where the bonded eth interfaces could be defined. I used to have: # grep -v "^#" /etc/conf.d/net | uniq routes_bond0=( "default via 172.25.9.1" # IPv4 default route ) config_eth0=( "null" ) config_eth1=( "null" ) slaves_bond0="eth0 eth1" config_bond0=( "172.25.9.182/24" ) # You may not want to assign an IP the the bond dns_domain_eth0="xxxxx" dns_servers_eth0="172.25.8.83" # And, there used to be a section with this code: #preup() { # Adjusting the bonding mode / MII monitor # Possible modes are : 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, # OR # balance-rr, active-backup, balance-xor, broadcast, # 802.3ad, balance-tlb, balance-alb # MII monitor time interval typically: 100 milliseconds #if [[ ${IFACE} == "bond0" ]] ; then # BOND_MODE="active-backup" # BOND_MIIMON="100" # echo ${BOND_MODE} >/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode # echo ${BOND_MIIMON} >/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon # einfo "Bonding mode is set to ${BOND_MODE} on ${IFACE}" # einfo "MII monitor interval is set to ${BOND_MIIMON} ms on ${IFACE}" #else # einfo "Doing nothing on ${IFACE}" #fi #return 0 #} Where is it gone now?

Weird.

Would you mind updating the net.example file to add the lines with "miimon_bond0", "mode_bond0" and "routes_bond0" lines? But hey, shouldn't I also overwrite the MAC adress of the bond interface so that it does not pick up teh one from eth0? ;-) mac_bond0="00:25:90:18:3f:2e" # make sure eth0, eth1 and bond0 have # different MACs, they get temporarily synced # as explained in bug #408339#c2 ?

It's bash rules. The quotes are optional there, since there are no spaces or anything that needs escaping. That actually feeds the sysfs stuff, so the rest of your preup isn't needed at all. > Would you mind updating the net.example file to add the lines with > "miimon_bond0", "mode_bond0" and "routes_bond0" lines?

No. Do NOT do that. I'll address it on the other bug.

This already sets the values for me on a kernel command line in grub.conf: title Gentoo Linux 2.6.39.4 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39.4 root=/dev/md1 bonding.mode=1 bonding.miimon=100 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 udev makeactive as can be seen in dmesg output: [ 9.489305] bonding: Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.0 (June 2, 2010) [ 9.496498] bonding: MII link monitoring set to 100 ms while much later is when /etc/conf.d/net kicks in: [ 38.153205] igb: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX [ 40.443225] igb: eth1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX [ 47.254464] bonding: bond0: setting mode to active-backup (1).

I'll address it on the other bug. OK, so this works fine for me: bug #408337#c3 . Aside from the fact that in bug #408339#c9 another user changes the MAC address of the bond0 interface I have no more problems. ;) Thanks!
I made the bonding documentation in net.example more explicit: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/openrc.git;a=commit;h=76d3fceb58d757a2acd72a89f6098a45b53fc944

Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:53:09 +0100 (13:53 -0700) commitb264931034bedef6f0a384302334393359dc59c9 doc/net.example: Add warnings that changing MAC on bonds can break things. In most cases, changing the MAC on a bond manually is wrong. The bonding module will do it as needed to failover between interfaces, or to get multiple interfaces to correctly have the same MAC. We cannot however enforce it, as there are some corner cases where it is actually valid (hardware that requires specific MAC configuration, like some quad-port NICs).
