Bug#607551: [linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64] IPV6 and ethernet bonding
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hello,
I tried to setup IPv6 on a server which use ethernet bonding.
My host use eth0 and eth1 which combine into device bond0.
When I try to add an IPv6 address to bond0 (ip -6 addr add xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/64 dev bond0), dmesg show this error:
[1492995.485604] bond0: IPv6 duplicate address xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx detected!
This address cannot be ping from this host or another host.
If I remove eth1 from bonding (ifenslave -d bond0 eth1), delete and re-add this address, everything work as expected.
After some research, it seem that it's a bug corrected in 2.6.33.
You can find more informations in a similar bug report for Redhat :

You will find in it the relevant patches for the kernel.
If you need further information or testing, don't hesitate.
Thanks
