Hi Today our Tinc network saw a network partition when we took one tinc node down.
We knew there was a network partition since the graph showed a split. This graph is not very helpful but its what I have at the moment: http://i.imgur.com/XP2PSWc.png - (ignore node labeled ignore, since its a dead node anyways) - node R was shutdown for maintenance - We saw a network split - we brought node R back up. - Tinc didn't restore a mesh and the split remained. The graph was generated at this point Some info regarding our config: - we are using tinc 1.1pre14 - we are using tinc in router mode - We do not have any ConnectTo variables mentioned in any nodes (maybe this is our problem) - All nodes use AutoConnect=yes How we fixed it: - we explicitly added some ConnectTo variables to node R - We reloaded tinc on node R (tinc reload) - The mesh was restored Some questions: - should we have a combination of both ConnectTo and AutoConnect to avoid such a network split? - Say we have 3 ConnectTo variables and then AutoConnect=yes, would there ever be more than 3 connections ? (I read somewhere that AutoConnect will make upto 3 connections only) Any other tips and suggestions to avoid such a network split would be great! -nirmal
