Hello list, I've submitted a PR + patch regarding a bug in carp's implementation from openbsd38 and lower. When preemption is enabled, a carp interface automatically assumes INIT->MASTER role without even checking if there is a faster master around. This breaks existing connections for people that don't use pfsync (or for connections which weren't synched yet) and confuses switches and clients alike. I'd like to make sure this gets looked at, so it makes 9.0's release if the carp implementation for 9.0 is still based on openbsd38 or lower. PR below: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=161123 Regards,
