[Bug 678425] Re: virtual network interfaces sometimes dont start on startup

[Clint Byrum]

Redirecting to ifupdown package. upstart really isn't involved here, as
the script that responds to udev events, /etc/init/network-
interface.conf, is part of ifupdown. The way these would normally be
brought up is by /etc/init/networking.conf which will bring up any
interfaces not already up after udev has done all it can.

** Package changed: upstart (Ubuntu) => ifupdown (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- virtual network interfaces sometimes dont start on startup
+ alias network interfaces sometimes dont start on boot

Title:
  alias network interfaces sometimes dont start on boot

Status in ifupdown:
  New
Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upstart

  Hello,
  I have 4 virtual network interfaces configured for autostart on two of my servers. All of them are bound to the same network interface eth0 and have static IP addresses. When I restart the server, sometimes some of them is down after restart and I have to start it manually with ifup. The physical network interface is always up correctly after reboot.
  It does not happen after every reboot and it is not always the same virtual interface which is left down.
  I cannot find any relevant information in syslog regarding this issue. This is a big problem as I have to manually check if all interfaces are running after every restart. 
  I dont know what other info/logfiles should I provide but please feel free to ask.
  Does anyone have similar issue?
  My distro is Ubuntu 10.04.1 Server 64bit.

  Thanx
  Roman Smid
