Subject: many instances of "/sbin/ifup ethx" coming from udev/hotplug
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:45:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <475F04FC.2040802@nortel.com> (raw)
Hi all,
We're running a 2.6.14 kernel and have a situation where multiple (20 or
so) ethx devices are being created in about 3 seconds. This appears to
cause latency issues for other tasks on the system due to all the
"/sbin/ifup ethx" processes that get created.
We're seeing these processes being created by udevd directly, by
/sbin/hotplug, and by /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net.hotplug (which
is in turn created by udevd).
Can someone shed some light as to why ifup gets called from three
different places for the same event, and whether it's expected to cause
latency issues? Also, is there anything we can do to streamline this?
Thanks,
Chris
