auto eth0:0 directive in /etc/network/interfaces & "Waiting for network configuration" on boot
I'm sorry if this was already addressed elsewhere but I can't find a definitive answer to this exact problem even if it seems to affect a lot of people...
Configuring a "Virtual Network Adapter" via the "auto eth0:0" syntax delays boot with Ubuntu 12.04.
In previous versions of Ubuntu you could configure an ethernet interface with multiple static IPs by using this kind of configuration in /etc/network/
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.64
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.0.65
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
In 12.04 this configuration still works a expected (the two interfaces are brought up and pingable just after the kernel is booted), however the boot process is then delayed for 2 minutes with the messages:
"Waiting for network configuration..."
"Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration..."
"Booting system without full network configuration..."
The messages and delay can be traced to the /etc/init/
All the related launchpad issues and forum posts I found are marked as resolved, but I still have this problem with a fully updated fresh install of the 12.04 base system.
So I was wondering if this was intended behaviour, or is this kind of virtual interface configuration still supported ?
If it's still supposed to work, is there an opened launchpad issue I can refer to ?
If not, what's the preferred way to assign a second static IP ?
