[PVE-User] Again (not) renaming interfaces...

[Marco Gaiarin]

Some servers, all upgraded from PVE6 to PVE7 and then PVE8.

Still i have some server Dell PowerEdge T440 that, sometime, not ever, fail
to rename interfaces, some log:

 Oct  2 11:44:03 pppve2 (udev-worker)[891]: lo: Invalid network interface name, ignoring: 
 Oct  2 11:44:03 pppve2 (udev-worker)[869]: eth1: Could not set AlternativeName= or apply AlternativeNamesPolicy=, ignoring: File exists
 Oct  2 11:44:03 pppve2 (udev-worker)[869]: ens1f1: Failed to rename network interface 3 from 'eth1' to 'ens1f1': File exists
 Oct  2 11:44:03 pppve2 (udev-worker)[869]: ens1f1: Failed to process device, ignoring: File exists
 Oct  2 11:44:03 pppve2 (udev-worker)[899]: eno1: Could not set AlternativeName= or apply AlternativeNamesPolicy=, ignoring: File exists

clearly, ifup2 does not found ens1f1 and don't bind the interface to the
bond.

I need to check manually the bond:

 root at pppve2:~# ip link | grep bond0
 2: ens1f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 5: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 10: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master vmbr0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 root at pppve2:~# ip link | grep bond1
 6: eno2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond1 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 12: bond1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master vmbr1 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 root at pppve2:~# ip link | grep bond2
 4: ens5f0np0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc mq master bond2 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 7: ens5f1np1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc mq master bond2 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 9: bond2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

find missing interface:

 root at pppve2:~# ip link | grep eth[0-9]
 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond1 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

and manually bind them:

 root at pppve2:~# ip link set eth1 master bond1
 root at pppve2:~# ip link | grep bond1
 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond1 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 6: eno2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond1 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 12: bond1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master vmbr1 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

Why? It is better to fire up a bug?


Thanks.
