The OVS database that stores configuration doesn't know about host-specific limitations on device name lengths. If you look in the ovs-vswitchd logs, you will likely see it complaining about the issue. --Justin _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
