Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8+nmu1
When the /etc/network/interfaces contains a duplicate static route add
statement, the ifupdown stops parsing the static routes with the error
message :
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Failed to bring up eth0
Here is a sample /etc/netork/interfaces with duplicate route add
statement :
---------------------------------------------------
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.1.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.1.1.254
up ip route add 10.2.1.0/24 via 10.1.1.10
down ip route del 10.2.1.0/24 via 10.1.1.10
up ip route add 10.2.1.0/24 via 10.1.1.10
down ip route del 10.2.1.0/24 via 10.1.1.10
up ip route add 10.2.2.0/24 via 10.1.1.10
down ip route del 10.2.2.0/24 via 10.1.1.10
----------------------------------------------------
with the file above, the 10.2.2.0 route will never be added to the
routing table.
could it be possible to get a better message than the RNETLINK file
exists answer, and continue parsing the static routes ?
I tested this on debian lenny (5.0.2) with kernel 2.6.26-2-686.
