Yes, I manually enabled it in /etc/default/openvswitch. I used to make brcompatd work in 10.04 with a compiled version by doing a rmmod in bridge, loading brcompat and then restarting the network so that the bridge that was removed due to rmmod would reappear. But in 11.10 when I do rmmod the bridge disappears as expected but when I reload the bridge by restarting the network or by manually doing a brctl addbr, the bridge module automatically reappears.
Examining the openvswitch opening script I find that it only tries to remove the module if there are no bridges up. But what good is brcompatd if there are no bridges up? Even if there are no bridges up and you fire up a bridge manually, but it doesn't work due to the bridge module starting by itself? Not being able to remove the bridge module should also be an error that prevents the brcompatd service from starting as it will do no good to be started in this way. Is there any way to prevent the bridge module from reappearing? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvswitch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917309 Title: brcompatd works with brctl delif but doesn't with addif To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/917309/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
