https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192663 Bug ID: 192663 Summary: Incorrect info in handbook for carp on 10+ Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: matt.home@userve.net Section 18.14.2.1 notes that FreeBSD 10+ users should "replace carp0 with the name of the CARP-configured interface." in the devd rules. This is incorrect and makes no sense. Using the interface up/down rules are not applicable at all, as carp is configured directly on the real interface. This interface will be up on both master and backup machines in normal operation. The user should use the new CARP devd rules specifically added for this purpose. (As described in carp man page) Less of an issue, but it also suggests editing /etc/devd.conf. Seeing as a method is provided for the user to add their own rule files, and there appears to be an effort to clean up the base config file (see recent efforts to group rules into /etc/devd/*.conf files), it makes sense to me to tell users to create their own /usr/local/etc/devd/carp.conf file. This provides a concise place to store their carp specific rules and reduces the risk of causing problems in the main devd,conf file. This should probably be a separate bug but the devd.conf file also needs the CARP rules adding to the list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
