Hello -net,
Just following up on these 2 PRs, respectively for 8.x and 9.0-BETA3: 8.x: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=161123 9.0b3: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=161483 There is a bug with CARP where a CARP interface will immediately transition from INIT to MASTER if net.inet.carp.preempt=1 even if there is a faster MASTER already present on the network. This is a bug from OpenBSD 3.8 and lower's implementation of CARP, which remains in 8.2 and 9.0 to this day. >From OBSD 3.9's changelog: http://www.openbsd.org/plus39.html "In carp(4), fix a bug where lower prioritized hosts would invalidly switch to MASTER for a short time at boot-up." I have provided patches in both PRs for sys/netinet/ip_carp.c and would like to ensure this gets looked at, and makes 9.0's release. We have tested the patch in production on 8.2 and that solved our problem. Is there anything I can do to help ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
