Description of problem: I did an reinstall of system from fedora16 > fedora17-beta2 (fully updated) to test if the newly added 'correlated loss Generator' scenario's in netem are working, after the fedora upgrade I get the message 'RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory' when I apply: $ tc qdisc add dev p2p1 root netem delay 100ms OR $ tc qdisc change dev p2p1 root handle 1: prio OR (the changed loss commands since iproute2-3.x.x) $ tc qdisc add dev p2p1 root netem loss random 10% currently the interface is set default: $ tc qdisc show dev p2p1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: root refcnt 2 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Ofcourse I'm root, and tried to switchoff selinux. In fedora16 the (unchanged) commands worked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iproute-3.3.0-2.fc17.i686 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. tc qdisc add dev p2p1 root netem loss random 10% 2. tc qdisc add dev p2p1 root netem delay 100ms 3. Actual results: RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory Expected results: applied netem setting Additional info:
Please add keyword: Regression This appears to be affecting all traffic control. This exact script worked on my Fedora 16 machine, but it no longer works on the same machine in Fedora 17. It now returns the same error message on the first line: RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory ## UPSTREAM TRAFFIC SHAPPING /sbin/tc qdisc add dev p6p1 root handle 1: htb default 10 /sbin/tc class add dev p6p1 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 2mbit burst 2k /sbin/tc class add dev p6p1 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 2mbit burst 2k /sbin/tc class add dev p6p1 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate 1536kbit burst 2k /sbin/tc qdisc add dev p6p1 parent 1:10 handle 10: prio /sbin/tc qdisc add dev p6p1 parent 1:20 handle 20: sfq perturb 30 # ICMP /sbin/tc filter add dev p6p1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 1 u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:10 # Interactive Ports /sbin/tc filter add dev p6p1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip dport 0 0xfc00 flowid 1:10 # Bulk Ports (Catch-All) /sbin/tc filter add dev p6p1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 3 u32 match ip dport 0 0x0000 flowid 1:20
I have a similar problem... the "RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory" message is surely not very helpful :) That said I "fixed" it by installing kernel-modules-extras
Thank you!! This fixed it for me also. I was having a problem with Shorewall's TC_ENABLED=Internal in shorewall.conf.
(In reply to comment #2) > I have a similar problem... the "RTNETLINK answers: No such file or > directory" message is surely not very helpful :) That's a kernel response; there's not much to do about it. Apparently the module was moved to the extras package; this happens sometimes for various reasons. It's good to know how to fix the issue, thanks for sharing.
can maybe make iproute depend on that? or maybe the issue should be brought to the attention of the kernel packagers
It's optional functionality, hence the 'extras' in the name. Hard-requiring it (there's no other way in RPM) is a no-go. What goes in the extras package is decided by the kernel people, indeed. If you believe this is a module that should be part of every Fedora installation, file a bug with kernel.
