Strange.
I usually unmount and then mount the hugepages mount point before using it,
just to be sure.
Maybe the two different mount points confuse DPDK somehow.
By the way, if you have dpdk-testpmd, what is its output? Does it return
the same error message?

Subject: RE: [vpp-dev] VPP fails to start - error message EAL: FATAL:
Cannot get hugepage information.
I removed the plugin and it starts the service!
[...]
At this point, I think I should be able to use the VPP console to set up
the interfaces etc. Is there any other gotcha I need to be aware of ?
Which interfaces are you going to use to rx/tx packets? VPP natively
supports some Intel, Mellanox and virtual NICs but otherwise you'll need to
use DPDK. And for that you'll need the DPDK plugin.
That is exactly the problem now. I need to use DPDK, and how do I get the
plugin to work? Do we know the root cause of the issue why the plugin
fails? Any pointers on this would be really appreciated.
Thanks
