ippool -X not working

[Rodrigo Severo <rodrigo.lists@fabricadeideias.com>]

Dear list,


I am testing the ip pool match and target.

I'm having problems with the ippool userspace support tool.

I can't make neither -x nor the -X POOL options work. I always get a
"IP_POOL_DESTROY POOL failed: Device or resource busy" message. The POOL
isn't used yet anywhere, I'm justing testing pool creation by now.

Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I am not sure there is someone working on the ip pool functionality.

I wrote Patrick Schaaf, the former maintainer of this patch. He told me
that he never implemented pool destruction. He also mentioned that
Joackim Axelsson probably is the ip pool man presently.

Is there anybody working on it? I'm willing to help.

BTW, I'm messing with ip pool based on the assumption that using an ip
pool would give me faster results than having circa 180 rules for
different ip addresses as I have now. Am I right?


Thanks in advance for your attention,

Rodrigo Severo
