[Bug 823366] Re: bond_primary is ignored in /etc/network/interfaces

[Stéphane Graber]

And one more version pushed to my PPA.

This one should also fix some race conditions when using the bond
interface in a bridge, with vlans or doing dhcp on it.

Title:
  bond_primary is ignored in /etc/network/interfaces

Status in “ifenslave-2.6” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The bond_primary declaration in /etc/network/interfaces is not working anymore in 10.04.3.
  Setting this value has no influence, it's always set to the lower interface number or none

  Workaround:

  iface bond0 inet static
    bond_slaves eth2 eth0
    bond_primary eth2
    bond_mode 1
    bond_arp_interval 2000
    bond_arp_ip_target 192.168.100.1
    #bond_num_grat_arp 10
    up echo eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/primary
    up echo 10 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/num_grat_arp
    address  192.168.100.50
    netmask 255.255.255.192
    gateway 192.168.100.1
