When bonding module is loaded with primary parameter and one decides to unset
primary slave using sysfs these settings are not preserved during bond device
restart. Primary slave is only unset once and it's not remembered in
bond->params structure. Below is example of recreation.
grep OPTS /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100 primary=eth01"
grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: eth01 (primary_reselect always)
echo "" > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/primary
grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: None
sed -i -e 's/primary=eth01//' /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
grep OPTS /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond
BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100 "
ifdown bond0 && ifup bond0
without patch:
grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: eth01 (primary_reselect always)
with patch:
grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: None
