Hi,
I can confirm that replacing 'allow-ovs' by 'auto', as suggested by Philippe
Latu works for us, but openvswitch itself recommends not to do this, as per
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/debian/openvswitch-switch.README.Debian#L308
Admittedly this dates from 2017 so it might be obsolete. If that is the
case, it would be useful to have it updated upstream.
In Buster, openvswitch-switch.service would start the openvswitch-switch
init script, which in turn would call ifup --allow=ovs. In Bullseye this is
no longer the case.
What would be the recommended way to start bridges on Bullseye? I think
either the bridge interfaces should be marked as 'auto', or there should
be some place that calls 'ifup --allow=ovs'.
Perhaps it is relevant to note that we are using ifupdown, not ifupdown2.
Best regards,
Roel
