Setting network interface order [message #39869]

Hi,

I'm running into a problem discussed here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390404

On boot of VE with a NFS share the script

/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs

freezes apparently because it tries to connect using the venet0 device which has the ip 127.0.0.1 and obviously cannot connect to the NFS share. What it should do is bring up venet0:0 and connect trought that.

How can I change the order in which interfaces are brought up? /etc/network/interfaces says that you shouldn't edit the file

Hi,

sorry, may be I miss the point but don't you think that it's not an OpenVZ problem? Why this logic still exists? Why don't we wait until network configuration is ready to mount? Could you please elaborate on this a little bit?

Hi,

I'm sorry, I'm no expert in this area but I'll try to explain my problem more precisely. In the link I gave, this http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390404#42 message is the one I'm referring to.

Meaning that the VE seems to try to mount NFS share using the venet0-device which has ip 127.0.0.1 and not venet0:0 which can access the NFS share. The fix suggested was to change the order of the devices in what I think is /etc/network/interfaces but the file states that you shouldn't change it manually since it's made by OpenVZ?

If there's another solution or someplace else I should ask that's ok also.
