Hello,

I have a small issue with my Proxmox servers. I've installed the latest version of Proxmox VE (5.0.12).

For networking I'm using openvswitch 2.6.2. The problem is the following:

The networking config won't be applied upon start-up (it will do a job for Raise network interfaces for about 5 mins,fail, then continue booting).

After it boots up I login; if I try to start the network it fails because 'vmbr0' is already configured. I reckon the system tries to start 'vmbr0' during boot, fails, and in this process creates the ifstate files in /run/network/. The problem is I don't understand why it will not start vmbr0 during boot, I thought it is because networking is started before openvswitch during boot, I checked the run-levels, both services have same runlevels. I even added openvswitch to an inferior run-level, that didn't fix the issue.

Do you have any idea why this will not work?

If I delete these files and try to start/restart networking it will work.

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual
mtu 9000

auto eno2

        mtu 9000

        ovs_bridge vmbr0

        ovs_extra set interface ${IFACE} external-ids:iface-id=$(hostname -s)-${IFACE}-vif
        mtu 9000

Hi DoruB!

Do you use the No Subription Repo? OVS is in this Repo on 2.7. Probably this could be your Problem because I think that Proxmox recompiled it for debian 9.
