Re: [ovs-discuss] Infinite timeout for ovs-vsctl reconnect?

ok. That can work.. I believe I found the source of the issue on that as well. the RHEL ifup / ifdown scripts call ovs-vsctl directly w/o a time out set. If you'd like I can submit a patch for this and throw in a default of 30 seconds or something inside it. -b On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 2:50

[ovs-discuss] Infinite timeout for ovs-vsctl reconnect?

2012-05-07 Thread bkruger
