Hi,
we are facing a problem with veth device in combination with long veids.
if we configure a veth device as described in the wiki, we are unable
to start that VE with the following error:
xnetadm:/etc/vz/conf# vzctl start 249104
Starting VE ...
VE is mounted
Setting CPU units: 23945
Configure meminfo: 655360
Set hostname: vz-netnagios
File resolv.conf was modified
Configure veth devices: veth104.0
debug veid 24910 vznetcfg
debug veid 24910 vznetaddroute
/usr/sbin/vznetaddroute: line 6: /etc/vz/conf/24910.conf: No such
file or directory
According to /etc/vz/conf/24910.conf VE has no veth IPs configured.
/usr/sbin/vznetcfg exited with error
VE start failed
Stopping VE ...
VE was stopped
VE is unmounted
Note that we are echoing the $VEID in vznetcfg and vznetaddroute for
debugging reasons and we noticed that the last character is cut off.
This is also the reason why the scripts fail. We have not yet fihured
out if vznetcfg is called by vzctl directly.
This does not happen if we use a shorter veid like 104.
Maybe someone has an idea what is causing the issue.
Here is the vzctl log output.

In veth.c a buffer with length 11 is allocated.
The buffer is used as follows:
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "VEID=%d", veid);
As 6 characters are used for static content (VEID= + '\0'), only 5
characters are left. Your VEID (249104) is 6 characters long.
Apply the following patch, and you should be running.
(An alternative is to limit your VEID in the range 100 to <= 99999)

+++ b/src/lib/veth.c

In kernel if name is limited to 16 bytes, i.e. to 15 chars (plus zero).
4 chars for "veth", so 11 chars for number. VEID is int, so limited
to 2^32, which is no more then 10 chars length. So everything should
be fine except this silly bug in vzctl.
Why have you chosen 12 instead of 11?
AFAICS it should be sizeof("VEID=") + 10 + 1 (for \0) = 16
Thanks,
Kirill

I call my veth interfaces ve${VEID}.0, ve${VEID}.1 ...
So VEID 1234 will have an interface called ve1234.0 in VE0 (eth0 in VE 1234)

What if I call my veth interfase abcdefghij${VEID} ?
(Or do I misunderstand?)

I chose 12 because 11 was to small :-)
It was ment as a workaround. 16 must be right.

Hi,
or export the right VEID from /proc/vz/veth:
/proc/vz/veth :
MAC_VE0 veth_dev_on_VE0 mac_dev_VE dev_VE VEID deny
Attached a workaround patch, to solve this issue.
Regards,
Thorsten
