For the 16.04 case there was no dpdkvhostuserclient yet, so there it had to stay around anyway as OVS was the server.
But I agree that it is in issue in regard to "/var/run/openvswitch/vhostuser/vhu* is created by qemu once" that matches what I expect and indeed in that case clearing the var/run directory is bad indeed. For the time being a temporary workaround could be to try using a different path. I'm unsure if - without further tweaks - OVS and the Qemu rocessed are allowed to access it (apparmor is in place), but you could try putting the socket paths at e.g. /var/run/ovs-qemu-sockets/ and see if this works as an interim solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910209 Title: "systemctl stop openvswitch-switch" will remove /var/run/openvswitch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/+bug/1910209/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
