Is it not time for full IPv6 support?

@kageurufu Thanks for the helpful pointer on this one. Much appreciated.

Just a quick correction however. The actual file to edit is not /boot/default/grub (non existent) but:

/etc/default/grub

As per our existing Built on openSUSE dev notes and status Disable IPv6 at the kernel level section, only in reverse of course. So our equivalent ‘undo’ sed command would be:

sed -i 's/ipv6\.disable=1[ ]*//g' /etc/default/grub

Followed by, as you correctly indicate, the grub re-config command of:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

and a reboot.

Note the ‘undo’ sed accounts for trailing space, or not. The former is the case with our installer:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 plymouth.enable=0 rd.kiwi.oem.maxdisk=5000G"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

but if folks have used our above dev notes then they will have:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="plymouth.enable=0 rd.kiwi.oem.maxdisk=5000G"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1"

or similar and so no trailing space.

I’ve now added a new section to our above dev notes “To ‘undo’ IPv6 disable at the kernel level” to cover our current issues in rockstor-installer:

and in rockstor-core:

Linking for context here to our current docker related forum report regarding Rock-on failure:

Thanks to all concerned for bringing this rather untimely upstream issue to the fore. As can be seen from the above issue texts we are rather in a spot on this one but bit by bit, as always.

Hope that helps.
