Good question that I also would like to hear a good answer to. For me it began with a need for port mirroring to a sniffer interface. Turning vmbr0 into a hub by setting bridge_fd to 0 and bridge_ageing to 0 sort works but who wants a dumb hub when you can have a switch? Another option I...

I know I have my part in starting it, but this is the wrong thread for this discussion. Let's agree that we disagree and get back to Open vSwitch specifics. Thanks ;)

Sorry if I didn't do my homework. All I've been looking at is the statement "The next release of Debian is codenamed squeeze — no release date has been set" on http://www.debian.org/releases/ Also, if Proxmox 1.x (and other products released on top of Debian?) are bound to Lenny, forever or for...

Thanks for the encouragement. Do you know if there's a source package available that will build on Debian Lenny? The GIT snapshot I used (commit 15b619e29d20708d2ce6946f1c5ec9841c4c822b) had a few dependencies only available in Squeeze, which is still in testing. Given that Debian is extremely...

What I thought. I have read the Squeeze for 1.x thread and fully respect your decision to only support PVE 2.x on Squeeze.

OK, at the moment I have a pure vSwitch running vmbr0 without the brcompat_mod module. Before I embark on writing up a howto I'd like to ask Dietmar and any other Proxmox expert if what I've done is plain stupid. :) You see, in order to compile and build the Open vSwitch sources I had to make...

Thanks much! I have seen that file while grepping around and appreciate your confirmation. How about these? /etc/kvm/kvm-ifup /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/bridge /etc/network/if-post-down.d/bridge Any other places you can think of?

I just managed to build and install Open vSwitch 1.1.0pre2 on a Proxmox server running the latest 2.6.35 kernel. Right now it's runinning in compatibility mode where vmbr0 is created as before, using brctl from the scripts. The reason I'm looking at Open vSwitch is that I would like to leverage...
