    From Rob van der Putten@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 21 14:10:01 2025
    Hi there


    Old stable / 11:
    Installs new kernel source, but not a new kernel.

    Stable / 12:
    New net-tools comes with ifconfig with empty numeric values: It's all zero;

    RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
    RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
    TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
    TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

    My rrdtools based graphs now use 'ip' instead;

    ip -s link show dev Some_Device

    It's a bit odd though.


    Regards,
    Rob

    I've seen that with vlan interfaces before too. I've understood ifconfig
    is on life support.

    ip -s link show dev Some_Device

    There is also /sys/class/net/<interface>/statistics for that sort of
    thing.

    On unstable I saw the same with net-tools 2.10-1.2 but it was fixed today in 2.10-1.3.

    Yes, the changelog mentions:
    * Fix interface statistic regression.
    Thanks to Christian Herzog for the report (Closes: #1106147)

    On unstable I saw the same with net-tools 2.10-1.2 but it was fixed
    today in 2.10-1.3.

    I saw the bug report later.
    A fix isn't in stable yet.
    There is a now a new kernel for Debian 11 / Bullseye though.

    Meanwhile I found an other Debian 11 oddity. At boot, NFS now will often
    mount RO instead of RW. When it does, I can remount RW;

    mount -o remount, rw /mnt/home

    5.10.0-33 seems to be fine. Problems are with 5.10.0-34 and 5.10.0-35.
    As for as I can tell, it mounts correctly after a power cycle.
    Somehow I feel that it tries to mount NFS just a bit too early.

    Which is what I use now.
