Hi,

I'm getting the the following error at startup:

"Failed to start Raise network interfaces at boot up"

/etc/network/interfaces looks like:

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.20.200
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.20.1
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
        address 192.168.20.205
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        bridge_ports eth1
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

systemctl status networking.service shows:

Code:

Networks works as far I can see as usual.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
hi,

here is your error. looks like a custom file you might have added before, but you're missing the executable file
 
hi,



here is your error. looks like a custom file you might have added before, but you're missing the executable file

Can't remember any added custom file.

Should I just remove this file: "/etc/network/if-up.d/vzifup-post" ?

content:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

[ "$ADDRFAM" = "inet" ] || [ "$ADDRFAM" = "inet6" ] || exit 0

exec /usr/sbin/vzifup-post "$IFACE"
 
/etc/network/if-up.d/vzifup-post shouldn't be there on newer PVE versions. it might be an upgrade artifact, or you're using a very old version of PVE

should be safe to remove on newer PVE versions

yeah, started with pve version 1 or 2 and now I am on 6. So this might be an artifact.
 
Ran into the same problem with installing ifupdown2 before upgrading my 6.4 node to 7.1

Node was initially installed with 4.x

Removing "/etc/network/if-up.d/vzifup-post" fixed it

Thanks.
