Hi,
This is a question regarding preconditions for openibd script before it
starts. The question assumes that OS is SuSE but the only difference
from other OS is just in the mechanism.
openibd script is installed with Required-Start: $network directive.
This forces /etc/init.d/network to run before /etc/init.d/openibd
This causes a bug when bonding is configured with ifcfg-* files. Files
are read and parsed when network script runs but at this time ib*
interfaces do not exist (openibd wasn't started yet). My questions are:
1) Why does openibd depends on nnetwork to start?
2) Isn't it more logical to reverse the dependency? (network should run
only when interfaces exist).
thanks
MoniS
