Can't start fcoemon in 13.04

Asked by ALex Henderson

After installing 13.04 and sudo apt-get install fcoe-utils "/etc/init.d/fcoe start" produces an error message complaining that /etc/fcoe/open-fcoe.conf does not exist. The open-fcoe version appears to be 1.09. This file was not used in older versions, they used /etc/fcoe/conf and /etc/fcoe/cfg-ethx. the simpleminded fix of renaming the conf file doesn't work. Do that and you get a complaint that there's no "HBA=" in the open-fcoe.conf file - the options specificed in the conf file(s) seem to have changed between versions. There doesn't seem to be any documentation available from either openfcoe.org or ubuntu (or anywhere else via Google search) as to what this file should contain. In fact all the available documentation seems to indicate that the older style config files should work. Can anyone provide an example of the config files for a working installation or a link to some documentation on the new config file format & options?

What is the output of:

file /etc/fcoe/open-fcoe.conf

The installation process, apt-get install fcoe-utils doesn't create an open-fcoe.conf file. It still produces an old style conf file and cfg-ethx file. looks like the install process and code are out of sync.
