So, how do we invoke this with > systemd? I guess, it is not supposed to be invoked with "service > openvswitch reload", right? And why can't we use "ovs-ctl > force-reload-kmod" with Fedora/RHEL?
Hi, because on Fedora/RHEL we use systemd dependencies and so we have 3 (main) service files: openvswitch.spec, ovs-vswitchd.spec and ovsdb-server.spec that are interconnected (see rhel/README.RHEL.rst). If you use ovs-ctl directly systemd will loose tracks of the new ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd processes and so you can't restart it by using "systemctl restart". Moreover it seems ovs-vswitchd is not restarted correctly in this case. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
