Setup of default route on multi-homed host
by James Fait 15 May '25

15 May '25

I have a system that is using Almalinux 8.10 that has several active networks for the segregation of traffic according to purpose. Whenever this machine is rebooted, it is random on which interface is selected to be the default route, with two interfaces being selected for default route, only one of which actually connects to the outside network. How can I force that the true default route is always chosen? I have attached the output of the route command before and after deleting the erroneous route. Thanks in advance for your assistance. ## Routing tables after power cycle -- no outside internet access $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 10.57.30.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eno2 default pancho208 0.0.0.0 UG 101 0 0 eno4 10.57.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 100 0 0 eno2 ###.54.208.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 101 0 0 eno4 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 $ sudo route del default # delete the first route ## Routing tables with working outside internet $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default pancho208 0.0.0.0 UG 101 0 0 eno4 10.57.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 100 0 0 eno2 ###.54.208.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 101 0 0 eno4 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0

AlmaLinux Bug fixing process
by Alessandro Baggi 13 May '25

13 May '25

Hi list, I would like to know how works bugfixes on AlmaLinux when a user report a moderate/critical bug. For example, some times ago I found a bug in Debian stable kernel relative to MD devices. I contacted the developer, helped the team with testing to reproduce the issue, testing patches. After some day patch applied on testing and unstable and after ~15 days patch was released on debian stable kernel (wit a backport) and on backports kernel. How works this on AlmaLinux? I know that I can open bugs and help but what about timing on patchs release? I can contact the "kernel team" directly like in Debian? Patch will be released during minor release update or when ready and tested? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Alessandro
