** Description changed: - When using Xen and OVS a log flood occurs (approx 10 entries /s) when - using stubdom based HVM guests with PV drivers. This issue was reported - to the OVS developers - (http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2013-February/025586.html) and a - fix was merged for the 1.4.6 release. Please consider updating the - Ubuntu package to incorporate this fix. + Impact: + Some Xen and OVS users will experience floods of STP errors in syslog; this generates noise and IO and fills disk space. + + Test Case: + Setup Ubuntu 12.04 with Xen and OVS networking options. + Create a new guest domain using paravirtualized drivers. + + Regression Potential: + Limited; the fix just switches the offending error message to be log rate-limited within openvswitch itself. + + Original Bug Report: + When using Xen and OVS a log flood occurs (approx 10 entries /s) when using stubdom based HVM guests with PV drivers.
