With bnx2 interfaces on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit: In a file called /etc/modprobe.d/ip-failover (that we put there ourselves):
Does not work: options bonding mode=6 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200 max_bonds=2 Works: options bonding mode=1 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200 max_bonds=2 mode=6 works on Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit on the same hardware and RHEL 5.5 64-bit on the same hardware. ..so for people with this problem, swapping to mode=1 (active-backup) should be a functional workaround if you just use bonding for redundancy and don't really need the extra throughput from many interfaces. (Where I work we have 52 fairly new DELL-servers that all use bnx2, so I'll venture a guess that this network controller is fairly common). -- Bonding still broken for bnx2 in Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366177 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
