Basically my way around it was to disable network manager (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager - scroll down to disabling network manager). Then I followed these instructions (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding)
I had attempted this previously without disabling network manager and would get to a point where I needed the network to be enabled during boot before login, which was not happening when using the combination of ifneslave with networkmanager. Basically as far as I could tell, they were fighting over who was managing networking. This was causing all kinds of login/home directory mounting issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178505 Title: NetworkManager reverts all bond modes to balanced-rr To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1178505/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
