Hi list, I found some traces of this 'issue' (if it actually is one, no idea), e.g. here:
http://www.pubbs.net/openbsd/200911/51706/ host A: # cat /etc/hostname.carp1 inet 10.0.0.5 255.0.0.0 NONE vhid 2 host B: # cat /etc/hostname.carp1 inet 10.0.0.5 255.0.0.0 NONE vhid 2 advskew 100 On both hosts: # sysctl |grep carp net.inet.carp.allow=1 net.inet.carp.preempt=1 net.inet.carp.log=2 # dmesg |head OpenBSD 4.6 (GENERIC.MP) #89: Thu Jul 9 21:32:39 MDT 2009 [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP cpu0: Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by AMD PCS ("AuthenticAMD" 586-class) 499 MHz cpu0: FPU,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,CX8,SEP,PGE,CMOV,CFLUSH,MMX real mem = 268009472 (255MB) avail mem = 250314752 (238MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 12/10/07, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfceb2 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xf0000/0x10000 (ALIX boards by PC Engines.) However, if host A is MASTER (the 'usual' setup) and then reboots, host B becomes MASTER -- perfect. However, if host A is back online again, it does NOT become MASTER again. Host B stays MASTER (either until its rebooted or the carp or underlying interfaces are shut down). Is this a known behaviour? Is it wanted? Thanks for shedding light on this.
