Thread-topic: [Xen-users] RE: xend stop doesn't call network-script stop
Hello Daniel!

I agree on that point below! I'd like to leave networing to the distro,
but the thing is, that the vif0.X - vethX links do not work anymore w/o
xend running, isn't it?

And I read in some Howto that I should use vethX even in Dom0 because of
priorization of traffic and penalties to DomUs, if Dom0 has IP attached
to the xenbr directly.

Anyway, I can deal with it - it's just impossible to restart xend during
operation then, because those redhat scripts together with bonding do
work only on clean start (ifup on bond device, where slaves already
attached .... brrrr).

br
Walter
