Bug#439007: two bond interfaces with 2.6.18-5-amd64 + module-init-tools

[Ralf Gross <Ralf.Gross@stz-softwaretechnik.com>]

Hello,

anything new on this issue? I'm having a hard time getting my two bond
interfaces configured as I need it.

samba has problems with the round robin mode (bond0) compared with xor
mode (~20% less throughput). But for backup I need the extra bandwidth
of the rr mode for bond1. So I need two bonding interfaces with
different module options, but can't find out how to achieve this with
kernel 2.6.18 in debian.

The way this is described in the kernel doc
(/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
3.3.1 Configuring Multiple Bonds Manually)

does _not_ work with debian.

Any idea what is wrong? Kernel? module-init-tools?

Is there any way to achieve this with debian?

Ralf
