[ about difficulties configuring persistent IPv6 addresses ]
Hi Chris,
I've found that I needed to use two different strategies depending on
whether the initial address is configured statically or picked up
automatically. If you tell me which you're doing I will dig out my
notes on the relevant approach.

I am trying to get both working,

OK. For static addressing I put the following in
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:8b0:e9:1::4008
netmask 64
That then is the only global IPv6 address the i/f gets.
(Note that the IPv4 address is still being picked up via DHCP.)
For a system which is picking up its addresses dynamically (i.e. one
where /etc/network/interfaces contains comments, but nothing else) I put
the following in /etc/dhcpcd.conf
interface eth0
static ip6_address=2001:8b0:e9:1:4001/64
The interface is then configured with this global address in addition to
the one which it gets automatically.
HTH,
John
