Hi, I have several netbooted machines, which operate in this way: - the machine boots up from one interface (PXE, DHCP), for example igb0 - during the boot, an rc script runs* which deletes the IP from igb0 and creates the lagg interface with igb0, igb1 etc and sets the original IP on that interface (with a statically linked ifconfig) - normal booting continues from the lagg interface This has worked for years and broke somewhere in the lifecycle of 10-STABLE. Now I can't remove the IP address from the interface, ifconfig igb0 delete gives: interface igb0 cannot change link addresses! Any ideas about how could I work around this? Basically I would like to switch the IP from one interface to another while running from an NFS root. (and this has worked before svn rev xxx) Thanks,home | help
