OpenVPN start issue

[marjohn56]

I am seeing a failure to start OpenVPN and this error whenever I reboot.

openvpn[34132]: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/tun2: Device busy (errno=16)

Doing a ps auxw | grep openvpn and then killing the existing instance allows me to manually restart OpenVPN and all is well.


Edit: Not sure if this is on the DEV only, just switched to release and it seems stable on that... very odd

Hmm, the device creation / deletion was adjusted lightly on -devel, but could be cause of this indeed.

Not sure why it fails on first boot yet. Haven't seen this here.


Cheers,

I need to do some more live system testing. I am waiting for my 2nd Qotom to arrive, once that is here I can switch quickly to test. At present I have to wait for SWMBO to go out before I can play!


Should be here in the next day or so.

Ok, thanks for looking into it.
