Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze2 Severity: important Tags: ipv6
Only important since you don't supply an DHCPv6 server configuration out of the box anyway. A stateful and stateless DHCPv6 server in a large environment frequently fails on restart/reboot with the following error message: May 24 07:39:04 ping dhcpd: /var/lib/dhcp/dhcp6.leases line 496434: corrupt lease file; expecting ia_na contents, got ' ' May 24 07:39:04 ping dhcpd: May 24 07:39:04 ping dhcpd: ^ It is always the last line in the leases file, removing this or the last few entries in the leases file does not help. Only fully removing all leases fixes it The problem is particularly bad since the dhcpd spews this error message into syslog several hundred times per second. This has already led to /var being full twice. I'm fairly certain this problem is fixed upstream in 4.1-ESV-R2 and 4.2.1-P2. I have locally refreshed my Debian package to 4.1-ESV-R2 and have not seen such a problem since. It could be one of those fixed issues from the release notes. Changes since 4.1.2b1 - Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303]. Changes since 4.1-ESV ! When processing a request in the DHCPv6 server code that specifies an address that is tagged as abandoned (meaning we received a decline request for it previously) don't attempt to move it from the inactive to active pool as doing so can result in the server crshing on an assert failure. Also retag the lease as active and reset it's timeout value.
