If you have a long interface name, such as "vlan1000", ifconfig cuts

This is
on probably pretty much all Linux, but specifically we were using
Debian
Etch. I presume that there would be a similar problem for >9

interface
named "vlan99".
The behavior is that "start" works, but stop tries to remove the
alias from
"vlan1000:", which fails, leaving the IP up on the passive machine
if you
have gracefully failed over (and STONITH doesn't kill the previously-
active
node).
I tracked this down via the logs, and Scott Kleihege used his awk-fu
to work
up the following patch. I'm not sure if you'll want to include this
as it
relies on the "iproute2" program "ip" to be installed,
yeah, thats going to be problematic as IPaddr needs to work on non-
linux systems.
IPaddr2 has always been linux specific though...
as "ip addr ls"
doesn't seem to truncate the interface name. So it uses that to get
the
interface name.
