I installed ifupdown2 and restarted my proxmox, now I get this message in cli https://prnt.sc/q8yx05

Don't know what to do to fix this upstart not behaving like so.

I followed the the message and wrote "systemctl status pvesr.service"

And got this response:

● pvesr.service - Proxmox VE replication runner

Any ideas what to configure to get this working properly?

Hi,

it looks like ifupdow2 has problems to come up.

The config looks normal nothing special.

what did you get from the logs?
Code: 
journalctl -u networking.service
journalctl -xe
dmesg

This should make no difference in this case but in PVE 5.4 ifupdown2 is experimental.[/Code]

And what is about "dmesg"?
 
OK you got problems with the i40e intel driver.
Do you know witch nic does this driver use?
When you install ifupdown are the errors still exist?
 
I have absolutely no idea which it is, the motherboard have:
Intel® C621 controller for 14 SATA3 (6 Gbps) ports; RAID 0,1,5,10
Dual LAN with GbE
from C621

And the server have an extra nic card installed, but non of the ports on that card is active:
IBM INTEL PRO/1000 PT QUAD PORT PCIe GIGABIT NIC HBA SERVER ADAPTER CARD

I think this problem came when I installed ifupdown2 and restarted the server.
 
Then try to install ifupdown, so you can uninstall ifupdown2.
You would see this way if the problem still exists.
 
I am thinking about what you said regarding the driver to nic. Do you think it can have anything to do with eno2 nic, as we activated that at the same time ifupdown2 was installed?

I don't know.
can you send me the HW list

Code: 
lspci -vvv
then I could have a look at the used hardware/driver
 
Yes, your both NICs are Intel X722 what uses the i40e driver.
Can you try to boot with an older kernel like the pve-kernel-4.15.18-21-pve: 4.15.18-48?
 
Then try to remove the VLAN-awareness of the vmbr1.
Do do this remove these two lines.
Code: 
    bridge-vlan-aware yes
    bridge-vids 2-4094
 
Hi,
it's possible that this nic driver don't support more than 255 vlans when vlan offloading is enabled
(mellanox connect-x3 have the same problem)

https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/bugs/526/

This to reduce the number of vlans in "bridge-vids" or disable vlan offload : "ethtool -K enoX rx-vlan-filter off"
 
You must remove it and reboot or call "ifdown vmbr1 && ifup vmbr1 -v"

I run that now and just to verify everything is ok I paste the cli outcome:
(does this look ok?)
