[Bug 1070893] Re: not all ipv6 addresses are brought up on boot

[Stéphane Graber]

Right, that's what I wanted to check with the tarball of
/var/log/upstart :)

ifupdown will indeed consider any failure from an up/post-up command as
a failure to bring up the interface and will stop processing any
remaining statement.

Title:
  not all ipv6 addresses are brought up on boot

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have an /etc/network/interfaces that looks like this:

  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo eth0
  iface lo inet loopback

  # The primary network interface
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
          dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1

  On reboot, however, only about the first 6 or so of the IPv6 addresses
  will be active. I have to manually run the ifconfig commands for the
  rest, and then restart Apache. This is what I run:
