[gentoo-user] network bonding in gentoo/openrc
Hi all, how can I add/make active an interface that's to be part of a bonded connection without rebooting/restarting the bond? I have two interfaces currently running in ieee802.3ad mode. Usually I restart the interface or reboot when adding an interface but in this case I don't want to risk a glitch. I did it months ago and now cant remember! I don't think ifenslave is used anymore.

Yes. That's why I quoted the comment that the FQDN has to be first.
You can check with:
$ hostname
$ hostname -f
The former must give the short name ("syscon3"), the second one the FQDN
("syscon3.domain.tld").

THANK YOU! It is working.
Does placement of the name make a difference?

vs.
127.0.0.1 localhost syscon3 syscon3.domain.tld

No, I did not rebooted the system. Do I need to?
I can not pin it down which file/setting it is.
When I receive emerge notice from my new system, both of them have "...merged
on localhost.localdomain" instead of "hostname" eg. syscon3 syscon7 etc.

Unmanaged witches for the consumer market tend to last fewer years than they used to. This is because their power supply as well as the components on the circuit board are now manufactured as cheaply as possible. Good for repeat sales, bad for the consumer. The switch may fail outright, in which case the network fault is obvious. Or, it may start failing intermittently. Typical failure modes are for one or more ports to stop working altogether, or downgrade the port speed - as observed by the OP. Removing the ethernet cable, powering down the switch, re-inserting the ethernet cable and powering up the switch may restore the correct operation on the port. It was usually the case electrolytic capacitors on the circuit board could be replaced to fix the switch, but more recently some manufactures no longer use electrolytic capacitors - so I'm not sure repairs are even possible. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

You can't expect Linus to take any time over a minority of users or for the kernel team generally to reply to someone they don't know. In order to get attention, you need to come up with a set of patches which you know work in a modified kernel in your own machine. For that, you have to put in some work of your own, searching out the bugs, examining the relevant code, finding what is needed to fix the bugs & testing patched kernels. If you try using Screen, you could print yourself a list of commands, which would make it easier to get used to its features. It may well be easier to go over to BSD instead. When I installed this system in 2015, I needed to use raw terminals, so I wonder whether this is a real problem for a lot of Gentoo users. If so, an approach by a Gentoo dev to the kernel maintainers would be likely to get the attention you can't get on your own.

[gentoo-user] fstab mount /home by default
On one of my system I have in fstab: /dev/sda4 /home ext4noatime 0 1 and /home is mounted by default On my new installation, I have in my fstab: /dev/sda5 /home ext4noatime 0 1 but on new installation /home doesn't mount by default, why? On new installation, I created a user without "-m" useradd -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash thelma added to fstab: /dev/sda5 /home ext4noatime 0 1 but it doesn't mount by default. xfce4 created new entry in /home /thelma so I deleted the entry /thelma but manual mounting: mount /dev/sda5 /home does not create directory /thelma manually under /home When I mount manually /dev/sda5 /home all data is there but but trying login as user "X" gets a black screen now. How to get back "X" When I ssh and try to start it manually I get: Fatal server error: (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 8 (Permission denied)
