I take my above statement back. Looking at /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovs-lib we do create the logdir before we start the daemon. In your case, the error at the beginning is only related to ovs-ctl.log. So one could argue that we should fix the problem there. But that error should not create problems with starting ovs-vswitchd or ovsdb-server. But your error: start: Job failed to start 2015-09-22T09:27:41Z|00001|daemon_unix|WARN|/var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.pid: open: No such file or directory ovs-appctl: cannot read pidfile "/var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.pid" (No such file or directory) It looks unrelated to deleting log file directory to me. In your second email, you don't seem to have the same error as reported in the first email. Do you know what changed? Once you start the service, you should see both ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server running in "ps -ef | grep ovs". You should also see log files in "/var/log/openvswitch" with the logdir created. If you don't see the above behavior, can you tell what platform is this? i.e Ubuntu? Rhel? etc _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
