[pve-devel] corosync, multicast problem because of vmbr multicast_snooping enabled

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

Also, I use corosync in my vms for some virtuals cluster, and I also have problems because of vmbrX igmp_snooping

I also found a redhat bugzilla about it here:

Objet: [pve-devel] corosync, multicast problem because of vmbr multicast_snooping enabled 

Hi, 

I had worked on a problem this week, 

Since some month, I have corosync random failures. 
Thanks to omping, I had check the multicast layer, and it seem that sometime it's hanging. 

Also, I have had a strange thing, shutdown down a node had killed multicast between all my others nodes .... 

I had found article here: 
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/openais/2011-July/016491.html 

Telling that multicast_snooping on bridge can lead to problems. 
(Multicast snooping is used to filter multicast, listen igmp packet to create groups, and avoid to send multicast to all ports). 

I don't known how exactly it's works with linux bridge, But as my proxmox host ip is on vmbr0 (the default proxmox setup), 

echo 0 > /sys/class/net/vmbr0/bridge/multicast_snooping 

has resolved all my problems. 


I'm not sure, but I think we should disable multicast_snooping by default. (Don't known if it can cause regression ?)
