i found that this problem occurs in linux2.4.18. i tried both linux2.4.17 and linux2.4.19pre9, both of them have no such problem.
in linux2.4.19pre1,it works well most of the time,but sometimes it fails. when i check the status with "brctl showstp bridge",if one of the interface shows "blocking",then when try to stop the bridge ,the system also hung there. but i cann't find our which patch solve the problem, anyone familiar with that? i wish i could find out the solution. regards, zheng chuanbo > is there some bugs with the bridge on linux2.4.18? when i use brctl to >build the bridge,it works.and the hosts can communicate with the host on the >other side of the bridge. but when i tried to stop the bridge with cmd >"brctl delif bridge eth0",it always hung there. if i plugged off all the >cables,the bridge can also be stopped without any problems. > the bridge also worked well when i use linux2.4.13,so is there some bugs >in linux2.4.18? how to solve problem. > >I noticed the same thing a few times but I've been unable to track it down. >It seems like brctl is waiting on a lock which it never gets and there is no >timeout. > >Best regards, >Adam _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
