Package: openvswitch-switch
Version: 2.6.2~pre+git20161223-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I setup openvswitch-switch with a small number of switches that have one
physical interface each. Upon boot, they get configured extremely slow, taking
over half an hour to get basic networking up.
On IRC and the upstream repository, I found out that systemd now needs
SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=yes on newer systems, on top of the existing
_SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=yes. This is added in the upstream version, but not in
the current versions in Stretch, Buster or Sid.
Adding this makes the system configure the switches and interfaces in about 2
seconds and everything works perfectly fine. Reportbug attached the
modification as well, but since it is already known upstream this should be old
news.
Regards,
John
