I am trying to setup my Odroid-XU4 with Armbian 20.05.2 booting from MMC and no SDCard in slot. It took me a while but finally I found what I needed.
Next I've installed OpenMediaVault using armbian-config, that worked well.
Within OMV I've tried to setup VLANs which I could define but they didn't work, so I had to take a deeper look into it.
I've found that the interface name needed to be reverted back to eth0 since the new naming convention enx<MAC-address without ":"> uses the max available number of characters already:
In my case "enx001e06320261" , so if you add a vlan "enx001e06320261.1" the name is to long, it will not start.
This could be solved by reverting back to the old behaviour by adding
extraargs = "net.ifnames = 0 biosdevname = 0" above "# final boot args"
in "/boot/boot.ini" and did a
"update-initramfs -u" afterwards.
That worked well, after purging and reinstalling OMV it was no longer bound to the enx<MAC> naming convention and was finally using the new name eth0 instead.
After that I've added 4 additional VLANs by editing /etc/network but using the Web-GUI from OMV worked now as well to do that.
The Problem now, to bring them up with "systemctl start networking" I had to modify the line:
from: "ExecStart=/sbin/ifup -a --read-environment"
to: "ExecStart=/sbin/ifup -a --ignore-errors --read-environment"
in: networking.service
This doesn't eliminate the error: "Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config"
but at least brings the service up.
Does anyone have an idea how to get around that issue or do it some other way right?
Thanks, Gerald
