From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2 Description of problem: If I type this: ip rule add priority 1000 fwmark 1 table 1 then it works fine. However, the resulting rule is not saved/restored across a reboot, so I have to manually add it back in. "service iptables save" will save all the iptables stuff. Shouldn't it, or something similar, do the same for routing policy? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ip rule add priority 1000 fwmark 1 table 1 2. ip rule show. Note added rule 3. shutdown -r now 5. ip rule show. Note lack of added rule Actual Results: rule missing from rule table Expected Results: rule present in rule table Additional info: N/A.
Iproute doesn't have a functionality like this and propably won't ever have. All the ip * things are set by configuration scripts at the startup. Currently this applies not only on `ip rule` but also the same behaviour you'll get with `ip routes`, etc. None of the added data are stored. If you need to keep your configuration, you have to dig in the bootup scripts and set the values there. Anyway, I will discuss this with other developers and maybe I'll add this to feature requests.
