I'm running opensuse 13.2. For running Xen, I need a bridge interface. To get the network bridge to be activated on boot, you have to enable wicked-nanny /etc/wicked/common.xml - <use-nanny>false</use-nanny> + <use-nanny>true</use-nanny> It's a known bug that say's "fixed" by a new wicked release. I'm not seeing it https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=911562#c21 After enabling nanny, boot takes noticeably longer. It's due mostly to wicked systemd-analyze blame 44.082s wicked.service 3.745s lvm2-activation-early.service 1.101s lvm2-activation.service ... journalctl -b | grep -i wicked Apr 10 11:27:46 xen01 wickedd-dhcp6[1261]: Using netlink event receive buffer of 1048576 bytes Apr 10 11:27:46 xen01 wickedd-dhcp4[1262]: Using netlink event receive buffer of 1048576 bytes Apr 10 11:27:46 xen01 wickedd-auto4[1263]: Using netlink event receive buffer of 1048576 bytes Apr 10 11:27:46 xen01 wickedd[1283]: Using netlink event receive buffer of 1048576 bytes Apr 10 11:27:46 xen01 wicked[1305]: eno1: configuration applied to nanny Apr 10 11:28:23 xen01 wicked[1305]: br0: configuration applied to nanny Apr 10 11:28:23 xen01 wickedd[1283]: br0: successfully verified address '192.168.1.1' Apr 10 11:28:24 xen01 wickedd[1283]: br0: successfully notified about address '192.168.1.1' Apr 10 11:28:29 xen01 wickedd[1283]: br0: No duplicates for IP address 192.168.1.1 detected Apr 10 11:28:29 xen01 wickedd[1283]: br0: Notified neighbours about IP address 192.168.1.1 Apr 10 11:28:30 xen01 wicked[1305]: lo: configuration applied to nanny Apr 10 11:28:30 xen01 wicked[1305]: Interface wait time reached Apr 10 11:28:30 xen01 wickedd[1283]: ni_process_reap: process 1583 has not exited yet; now doing a blocking waitpid() Apr 10 11:28:30 xen01 wickedd[1283]: lo: address 127.0.0.1 covered by a static lease Apr 10 11:28:31 xen01 wickedd[1283]: lo: address ::1 covered by a static lease Apr 10 11:28:33 xen01 wicked[1305]: lo device-unconfigured Apr 10 11:28:33 xen01 wicked[1305]: eno1 enslaved Apr 10 11:28:33 xen01 wicked[1305]: br0 up I'd like to have both (1) br0 up on boot (2) an improved boot time, reducing wicked's 'wait' What config changes need to be made to get both?
