I echo the comments of others that this makes it hard to manage the system. But I'd go further to say it's impossible to manage the system. If we're using rules, we have to be able to see what they are.

Problem occurs on server and desktop. Example using linux-image-3.13.0-70 lsb_release: Ubutu 14.04.3 LTS Release 14.04 Expected: To have the normal rule table when using 'ip rule show' 0: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default Instead: The 'ip rule show' command is messed up showing lots of repeated rules for local/main/default (did not count them - simply too much) A sec prob in my case as it is making policy based routing useless if you need to grep whether your rule exists already. Workaraound, go back to/remain on either of these series: 3.13.0-68 3.16.0.51 PBR NOT working on: 3.13.0-69 3.13.0-70 3.16.0-52 3.16.0-53 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-utopic/+bug/1514785/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
