[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#655581: xen-utils-common: network-bridge breaks the network setup when using ethernet bonding.

[Philip Ward]

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.0.0-1
Severity: important


If using ethernet bonding and network-bridge with xen the network-bridge scripts breaks the network.

I have run through the commands manually in irder to establish the culprit.
In the op_start function (Starting on line 214) everything is fine up until line 251.
At this point the bridge has been created, devices renamed and the network is fine, but then
it runs do_ifup {$bridge}. In this function on line 111 it does ifup $1.
This breaks everything.
My solution is to surround the do_ifup ${bridge} line with a condition:
if [ ! -n "${slaves}" ]; then
    do_ifup {$bridge}
fi
