[Bug 1015199] [NEW] ifup does not work as documented with bonding interfaces

[Tyanko Aleksiev]

Public bug reported:

The file /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian.gz states:

"Using ifup on a master interface will call ifup for all slaves that are
flagged with allow-bondX. (bondX being replaced by the master interface
name). This will allow for extra setup for special slave interfaces."

However I'm using this /etc/network/interfaces file:

# The bound interface 
auto eth3
allow-bond0 eth3
iface eth3 inet manual
  bond-master bond0
  bond-primary eth3 eth4 eth5

auto eth4
allow-bond0 eth4
iface eth4 inet manual
  bond-master bond0
  bond-primary eth3 eth4 eth5

auto eth5
allow-bond0 eth5
iface eth5 inet manual
  bond-master bond0
  bond-primary eth3 eth4 eth5

auto bond0 
iface bond0 inet static
  address 10.1.1.125
  network 10.1.0.0
  netmask 255.255.0.0
  broadcast 10.1.255.255
  bond-mode balance-rr
  bond-slaves eth3 eth4 eth5
  bond-miimon 100
  bond-downdelay 200
  bond-updelay 200

and issuing the 'ifup bond0' command I get:

root@:~# ifup bond0
Waiting for a slave to join bond0 (will timeout after 60s)
No slave joined bond0, continuing anyway
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 9610

As you can see no slave interface has been started.
