Package: openvswitch-switch Version: 2.10.0+2018.08.28+git.8ca7c82b7d+ds1-12 Severity: normal
Hi, first off, I am not sure about the severity, but not bringing up parts of my network is actually pretty damaging, although very easy to fix (mkdir /run/openvswitch is enough). If I want to start openvswitch-switch using systemd, the directory /run/openvswitch does not get created, which results in the daemon not starting. However, running the sysv init script directly creates the directory no problem, and the service and network comes up. I tried inserting a mkdir command as ExecStartPre, or also into the init script, but after running 'systemctl daemon-reload', the directory is still not being created. I would much prefer if the directory would just get created, and the service would come up. Here's a small piece from the journal: Jun 21 12:06:45 debian ovsdb-server[14307]: ovs|00002|daemon_unix|EMER|/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid.tmp: create failed (No such file or directory) Jun 21 12:06:45 debian ovs-ctl[14286]: ovsdb-server: /var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid.tmp: create failed (No such file or directory) Jun 21 12:06:45 debian ovs-ctl[14286]: Starting ovsdb-server ... failed!
