"Macvlan and Bridging found" Do I need to worry?


Recommended Posts

This week the Fix Common Problem plugin gave me a warning about "Macvlan and Bridging found," but I have not had any issues.

Do I need to worry about this? Should I change it, or wait until when/if I have a problem?

 

I don't know why I am just now getting this warning. I haven't changed anything that I know of.

How do you know for certain you haven't had issues? Check your syslog for crashes. The new warning is because they finally found what seems to be the definite cause and solution for many people having seemingly random issues.

 

If you really aren't having issues, then you can ignore it. Just keep it in mind, the macvlan crashes have been effecting more and more people with each newer kernel, so who knows, you could be next. Disabling bridging stops the crashes for people who have a real need to keep using macvlan, but chances are you could use ipvlan and bypass the issue altogether.

 

tldr: If you really aren't having issues, you can ignore the warning.
