Hi all,
I have been following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding to set up a bond of two network interfaces, and it seems to me this documentatuoin has certain flaws. No problem with the Module Alias Configuration. AFAIK this configuration will already make sure that the bonding module is probed and loaded. I then have some remarks on the interface configuration part. * loading and unloading the module through pre-up and post-down statements is not necessary, as the loading already happens in de modproe.d config, and might even be unwanted in tha case were one has multiple bonds configured, which would (try to) unload the module after bringing one bond down, whilst it still being in use for another one. * configuring the bond (ifenslave bond0 eth1 eth2) in the (post-)up statements didn't work for me: it seemed (post-)up happens after configuring an ip, but at that time the bond is not configured yet, and configuring the ip results in an error. I'm not totally sure if this is eneral logical behaviour or if I just messed something up at one point in my config trial and error. * finally, this howto does not mention the by far easier method explained in /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian: it's just enough to use the "slaves eth0 eth1" in the iface bond0 stanza It might be interesting to have those remarks reviewed, to check if my evaluation is correct.
