** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ifenslave-2.6
In Karmic and Lucid the option bond_mode in /etc/network/interfaces is
ignored. It used to work before, and also according to the documentation
on the website and for example
/usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian in Lucid.
For example I have
auto bond2
iface bond2 inet static
- slaves eth1 eth2
- address 192.168.5.24
- netmask 255.255.255.0
- network 192.168.5.0
- broadcast 192.168.5.255
- bond_mode 5
+ slaves eth1 eth2
+ address 192.168.5.24
+ netmask 255.255.255.0
+ network 192.168.5.0
+ broadcast 192.168.5.255
+ bond_mode 5
But this gives me a mode 0 bond. I had to add 'options bonding mode=5'
to /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf to get a mode 5 bond.
+
+ SRU justification: the release notes and examples point users at the
+ correct way to do it, but the README.Debian, which is usually the first
+ place for experienced users to look, describes the wrong way to use the
+ package. Since this is important enough to have in the release notes,
+ it's also worth an SRU to update our other in-package documentation.
+
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. follow /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian in lucid
+ 2. reboot
+ 3. observe that this fails to work
+ 4. follow /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian in lucid-proposed
+ 5. reboot
+ 6. confirm that this brings up a bonded interface
+
+ The patch is trivial and only affects documentation; the only regression
+ potential is from latent rebuild bugs.
