I decided to try and use NIC bonding in OpenFiler and while things seemed to go well at first, I did run into some issues over time.  I’m still in the process of testing, and I think most of the issues are “user error” and not so much problems with NIC bonding or OpenFiler itself.  More on that later.

I was able to configure a bonded interface, and add both interfaces to it.  However, after the issues started, I wanted to remove the bond.  There is no way of doing this from within the Web UI it seems.  Easiest solution, login to the console, and delete /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 if you’re using the first bond interface.

After this file is deleted, service network restart should get you going again.
