I've double checked at multiple sites but just for my own peace of mind before I start bothering mirror maintainers I'd like some confirmation. A local Arch VM is also timing out on mirrors so it's infrastructure related somewhere out there.


Damn it, thank god I checked and kept digging before pestering mirror admins... Found a show stopping bug deep in the network stack that reaches out sideways into numerous other inter-related subsystems and am already dying inside thinking about how to triage and fix this...

Certain hypervisor platforms + bridged virtual NICs + host with bonded physical NICs + certain guest operating systems results in "double MACcing" and obvious fatal breakage. I can flip effected VMs from bridged to NAT mode and the problem goes away (it also makes the VMs unusable for production so that's literally no good whatsoever).

Behold this horror:

ghost@failbot:~/SRC$ ssh archway.REDACTED 'cat /etc/live/dhcp.leases' | head -n 3 1587237812 08:00:27:05:4a:66 10.10.10.114 zfsbot ff:e2:34:3f:3e:00:02:00:00:ab:11:aa:b6:c9:f2:38:c7:c6:45 1587237553 08:00:27:9f:8b:25 10.10.10.120 discobiscuit ff:e2:34:3f:3e:00:02:00:00:ab:11:53:b6:81:ac:6c:56:2f:dd 1587223151 08:00:27:a9:35:a4 10.10.10.67 archipelago ff:27:a9:35:a4:00:01:00:01:22:1d:e3:12:08:00:27:a9:35:a4

A recent cross-operating system upgrade has done this somewhere and this is not going to be a nice one to fix. To the internet!
