Public bug reported: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (release 12.04 according to lsb_release -rd). Machine has four NICs.
Set up a four-interface bond using the method outlined at http://www.stgraber.org/2012/01/04/networking-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/. Restarting networking shows everything working as one would expect. Testing shows performance and behaviour to be what you would expect of a bonded interface. After a reboot things get interesting: Sometimes none of the slave interfaces come up and the bond therefore fails. Sometimes one or two of the interfaces come up, along with the bond. Leaving the machine for 15 minutes or so does not make for any changes. The interfaces that didn't come up at boot remain down. Unplugging, then replugging, cables makes no difference either. Restarting networking gets things back in their proper state. ** Affects: ifenslave-2.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "/etc/network/interfaces" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078387/+attachment/3432342/+files/interfaces -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078387 Title: bonded interface doesn't reliably come up after reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6/+bug/1078387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
