SRV networking - Reload: ifreload -a failed

[jester]

On two of our nodes we are getting the below error when trying to make simple network changes (like change a comment) and applying them.
A reboot does not solve the issue. The interfaces-file looks OK.

Anyone with an idea what's going on and how to solve this?

The interfaces-file looks OK.

Please post your interfaces file, perhaps that will help us to understand.
I assume it has worked before... Were there any changes that could explain this behavior?

RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device

Do you by chance have an old Mellanox NIC? Those can only do 512 VLANs and you get this message when the maximum amount of VLANs has been reached.

as similar issues exist for many vendors (Intel for certain, but I'd assume others as well) - I'd suggest checking the output of `journalctl -f` while running `ifreload -a` - if that does not provide the needed information - check `journalctl -b` - for the NIC initialization part.
