commit 9f80c8b90bdaa8ffac887a8c478a16c84d74a87b Author: Pouria Mousavizadeh Tehrani <[email protected]> AuthorDate: 2026-06-10 11:26:07 +0000 Commit: Pouria Mousavizadeh Tehrani <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2026-06-12 16:18:28 +0000 rc.d/routing: Silence errors for loopback routes _loopback entry in `static_routes` ensures a loopback route exists in all routing tables. However, loopback routes may already be added by the kernel. Therefore, re-adding them triggers an `EEXIST` error on every boot. This change suppresses those harmless errors.
