Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: bug? or feature? "set_variable_values" in "cfengine_stdlib.cf" Author: davidlee Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,22719,22719#msg-22719
(using 3.1.4 community edition on RHEL 5.x) The network configuration files on RHEL5 are called "ifcfg-eth2" and look like: DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=99.99.99.99 NETMASK=255.255.252.0 ONBOOT=yes in a good, clean "key=value" format. So we have been using "set_variable_values", provided by "cfengine_stdlib.cf", to maintain this data. We have just started to use this to maintain a bonded interface, whose "ifcfg-bond0" file looks very similar. But one of the required "key=value" lines needs to look like: BONDING_MODULE_OPTS=mode=balance-rr miimon=80 Note that the RHS itself contains the equal '=' separator. Successive runs of 'cf-agent' cause multiple lines: BONDING_MODULE_OPTS=mode=balance-rr miimon=80=balance-rr miimon=80=balance-rr miimon=80=balance-rr miimon=80 BONDING_MODULE_OPTS=mode=balance-rr miimon=80=balance-rr miimon=80=balance-rr miimon=80 BONDING_MODULE_OPTS=mode=balance-rr miimon=80=balance-rr miimon=80 BONDING_MODULE_OPTS=mode=balance-rr miimon=80 which is clearly not what is intended, and would presumably try to reach infinity. Bug? (Or if a feature, how should we correctly be using this? And why doesn't cfengine spot the non-convergence?) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
