[Xen-users] Bridging problems



I think I may have encoutered a bug in Xen. I am using Xen as suplied by RHEL5.

On this particular machine after a reboot I get an interface

veth0 which has all the same ip settings as eth0. In this state no Xen instances hosted on this machine are accessible to the network.

After a "service xend restart" the veth0 interface disappears and my Xen instances can see the network.

I narrowed it down a little and found if I execute the following (from a screen to avoid my SSH connection dropping) then it also removes this duff interface.

cd /etc/xen/scripts
./network-bridge stop;./network-bridge start

When I reboot the machine, the misconfigured interface returns. It only happens on this particular server (which has three network interfaces installed on the motherboard).

Here is an ifconfig -a output before and after:

So my basic question is wy is Xend creating this duff veth0 interface and then clearing it on a xend restart? Of course the solution for now is to add a restart in my /etc/rc.local but I guess that is not ideal.
