Am I, then, the _only person_ who is suffering this show-stopper with
2.1.71?
# When I try to delete a route via 'route del hostname', I get:
#
# SIOCDELRT: No such process
#
# socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
# ioctl(3, SIOCDELRT, 0xbffffa28) = -1 ESRCH (No such process)
# write(2, "SIOCDELRT: No such process\n", 27SIOCDELRT: No such process
# ) = 27
# close(3) = 0
# _exit(7) = ?
#
# I tried all the normal variations of the command (such as specifying
# netmask, device, etc.) but nothing works. It doesn't seem to matter if the
# device was a loopback, ppp or ethernet.
#
# I looked into the ipv4 routing handler but got dismayed to find that
# things have _really_ changed since 2.0.x (ie, 'fibs'). But it's croaking
# around line 266 of ~linux/net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c:
#
# if (cmd == SIOCDELRT) {
# struct fib_table *tb = fib_get_table(req.rtm.rtm_table);
# err = -ESRCH;
# if (tb)
# err = tb->tb_delete(tb, &req.rtm, &rta, &req.nlh, NULL);
#
# Apparently, fib_get_table is returning a NULL value so the 'if (tb)' isn't
# getting executed, and the -ESRCH error is maintained.
#
# That's about all I can do unfortunately. If I can be of any other help,
# please let me know, this has some impact on my system.
