no status information / statistics

[Willem de Groot <willem@xxxxxxx>]

Hello :)

Last week I set up a VS-DR system, which works like a charm. However,
running ipvsadm -Ln on the director doesn't output any useful figures
anymore. In fact, it doesn't output any figures at all:

IP Virtual Server version 1.0.10 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port           Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
TCP  217.119.229.100:80 wlc persistent 1440
  -> 217.119.229.3:80             Route   1      0          0
  -> 217.119.229.4:80             Route   1      0          0
  -> 217.119.229.6:80             Route   4      0          0

Which is indeed the contents of /proc/net/ip_vs. Using --stats I get bogus
statistics:

IP Virtual Server version 1.0.10 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port               Conns   InPkts  OutPkts  InBytes

I'm quite sure two days ago it worked ok. Yet today, the VS functionality
itself also works ok, it's just the stats that are not working.

Kernel: linux 2.4.25
System: sparc64
Ipvsadm: ipvsadm v1.21 2002/11/12 (Debian version)

Any ideas?

Thanks!
