True - I guess I just don't like these kinds of warnings as I might come back to this a year later and notice it again and forget that it was benign. > I have these conf files: > -> ifcfg-eth0 > # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet > DEVICE=eth0 > BOOTPROTO=none > HWADDR=00:1C:C4:E2:44:32 > NOZEROCONF=1 > ONBOOT=yes > IPV6INIT=no > MASTER=bond0 > SLAVE=yes > USERCTL=no > > -> ifcfg-eth1 > # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet > DEVICE=eth1 > HWADDR=00:1C:C4:E2:44:30 > ONBOOT=no > BOOTPROTO=none > NOZEROCONF=yes > IPV6INIT=no > MASTER=bond0 > SLAVE=yes > USERCTL=no > > -> ifcfg-bond0 > DEVICE=bond0 > BOOTPROTO=none > ONBOOT=yes > IPADDR=10.61.1.200 > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > GATEWAY=10.61.1.254 > NOZEROCONF=1 > USERCTL=no Curious why you have ONBOOT to no for eth1 but yes for eth0?
