what it means SIOCSIFFLAGS and SIOCADDRT errors?

[Marcos Rubinstein - ALPA WWW]

what it means SIOCSIFFLAGS and SIOCADDRT errors?

specifically:

-- starting virtual server martin
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCADDRT: No such device

I'll try to explain it better:

We are still using a very old version of FreeVSD...

to be able to test some installations without jeopardizing the rest of the
vs's, I try the following with the vs martin (urivan, my partner
promised me that in two weeks he will have a test machine.. and
hopefully we will be able to upgrade... and be able to test things
without such a maneuvers ;):

vsboot --stop martin

cd /home/vs
tar -czf martin.tar.gz martin
mkdir /vs2
mv martin.tar.gz /vs2/
cd /vs2
tar -xzf martin.tar.gz
cd /home/vs
rm -fR martin
ln -s ../../vs2/martin martin


(note: /home/vs and /vs2 are in different disk partitions)


and... when I do 

vsboot --start martin

I get:

starting virtual servers stage 1
-- starting virtual server martin
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCADDRT: No such device
starting virtual servers stage 2
-- starting virtual server martin
starting system logging: syslogd
starting daemon: crond
starting daemon: atd
starting web server: httpd
starting local daemons:.


question: the SIOCSIFFLAGS and SIOCADDRT errors... what does it mean?

I can log into the server... both with bevs -r and thru telnet... and
everything seems to be working!

TIA

Marcos
