Request for official ethernet bonding support
Arch already has excellent support for LVM. I run two machines with LVM2. In order to make AL even more server friendly, what about adding bonding support? It shouldn't involve too much work, just an extra if block in etc/rc.d/network, an official ifenslave package, and one or two lines in rc.conf.
There is a user contribution that does it here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=3082
...but it is a little unpolished and is not official.
I think this would be a useful addition (especially for people like me, who like Arch for fast servers) that wouldn't take too much time from the devteam.
Thanks for the consideration!

Re: Request for official ethernet bonding support
Hmm?
I don't understand.
It's fully supported at this point. Go check out /etc/conf.d/ There's a config file for bonding in there.

Re: Request for official ethernet bonding support
You could file a bug report? Or maybe ask on the mailing list?
Dunno...

Re: Request for official ethernet bonding support
arch is growing that fast, it is hard to keep an overview. but as long as i, as an "afternoon linux user", can get any information, it is fine with me.
