up to 8 NICs on VM : limitation or bug ?

[David]

Hello, I run the 1.4 proxmox version like that :

pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.4-10 (pve-manager/1.4/4403)
qemu-server: 1.1-8
pve-kernel: 2.6.24-18
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.11.0-2
pve-firmware: 1
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve3
vzdump: 1.2-5
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1

I add 12 vlans + vlan 1 NICs on eth0 and so build 13 vmbr interfaces.

All is ok.

I build on debian a kvm machine for run samba.

I show when I add more than 8 NICs on the VM (9 or more), the VM won't start, and as I reduce to vmbr0 to vmbr7, it's OK.

Do you know if it's a bug or limitation ?

Thanks.

David

It is a KVM limitation.
