Public bug reported: If you create network interfaces (access ports) in openvswitch, and configure them in /etc/network/interfaces, failsafe.conf will kick in and the interfaces get configured after failsafe.conf exits. This adds two minutes to boot time.
openvswitch config: ovs-vsctl show 93e6b401-214b-4089-ac51-27ca43009cce Bridge "br0" Port "br0" Interface "br0" type: internal Port "vlan128" tag: 128 Interface "vlan128" type: internal Port "bond0" trunks: [128] Interface "eth0" Interface "eth5" Bridge "br1" Port "bond1" trunks: [143, 145] Interface "eth1" Interface "eth4" Port "phy-br1" Interface "phy-br1" Port "br1" Interface "br1" type: internal Port "int-br1" Interface "int-br1" ovs_version: "1.4.3" cat /etc/network/interfaces: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual pre-up ip link set $IFACE up post-down ip link set $IFACE down auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual pre-up ip link set $IFACE up post-down ip link set $IFACE down auto eth4 iface eth4 inet manual pre-up ip link set $IFACE up post-down ip link set $IFACE down auto eth5 iface eth5 inet manual pre-up ip link set $IFACE up post-down ip link set $IFACE down auto vlan128 iface vlan128 inet static address 172.17.128.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 I expected openvswitch (interfaces/ports/bonds/trunks) to be up-and- running before /etc/network/interfaces gets evaluated. Clint Byrum (Ubuntu) reported me the following: "failsafe.conf will exit when all interfaces marked as 'auto' are "up". The only time you get a 2 minute delay is when it takes that long to bring those interfaces up. Since you have these vlanXXX interfaces listed, the system is waiting for them to come up. It seems to me that openvswitch needs to be brought up before runlevel 2, and so probably needs an upstart job. This sounds like a clear bug." ** Affects: openvswitch (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1084028 Title: openvswitch based interfaces not started in time during boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/1084028/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
