https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241982 Summary: hotplug events for network interfaces are triggered to early Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: zoz@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: gregkh@novell.com, kasievers@novell.com OtherBugsDependingO 230213 nThis: After registration of network interfaces the corresponding hotplug events are triggered to early sometimes. This happens mostly when the system is under high load; for example at boot time. The problem with that is that udev cannot process its rules properly if some attributes from sysfs are not available. When i investigated this problem the sysfs files were already there but reading them did not work (e.g. /sys/clas/net/eth*/address seemed to be empty) Sometimes when ..../address could be read properly (and udev did the right things), then rename_netiface could not rename the interface. Repeatedly trying to rename it in a loop was succesfully after some time (far below 1 second). See bug 230213 for the problems arising from this. This is a regression since it did not happen on 10.1 or older. (not tested explicitely, but i only got several reports for 10.2 and not for other products.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
