Hi Horms, Julian, Wensong, list,

After all those years I've got a question as well :). I'm trying to get LVS running in Debian testing (what a strange system) and I'm having serious troubles with ipvsadm mismatches.

I've apt-get'd keepalived which installs ipvsadm as well (who knows why) which however complains that it only works with 2.6.x kernels, which again is utter crap.

So I did everything by myself since I can't apt-get an ipvsadm which corresponds to a 2.4.x kernel IPVS. I've downloaded ipvsadm-1.21 which goes with the 2.4.x kernel series and compiled it. However the binary complains that the kernel version of IPVS is not correct. I'm using a completely unpatched 2.4.27 kernel configured for sparc64.

I've sprinkled a few printf's into the code to help me debugging the issue so don't panic if the output is not what you would expect from ipvsadm-1.21:

The ip_vs kernel module barfs with lines like:

IPVS: Connection hash table configured (size=16384, memory=256Kbytes)
IPVS: Each connection entry needs 184 bytes at least
IPVS: ipvs loaded.
IPVS: set_ctl: len 0 < 92
IPVS: set_ctl: len 44 < 92
IPVS: set_ctl: len 68 < 92
IPVS: length: 4 < 8
IPVS: [wlc] scheduler registered.
IPVS: length: 92 != 112

which clearly indicates that we're submitting the wrongly sized get buffer via ioctl. What did I miss here? I'm compiling with the correct headers as far as I can see.

Thanks for any pointers. This is the first system in years that doesn't want to work out of the box. But Debian is known to be a little bit difficult if the human sitting behind is of limited intelligence.
