[Openstack-operators] neutron flat network on existing bridge fails

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion - I don't think that's it, because that gives me:
Unable to add br224 to brqf709c220-fd! Exception: Exit code: 1; Stdin: ;
Stdout: ; Stderr: device br224 is a bridge device itself; can't enslave
a bridge device to a bridge device.
and
Skip adding device tapf99013c6-6b to brqf709c220-fd. It is owned by
compute:nova and thus added elsewhere. _add_tap_interface
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/neutron/plugins/ml2/drivers/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:473
while this tapf99013c6-6b now actually is enslaved to brqf709c220-fd,
even with the wrong physical_interface_mappings setting. So I guess it's
ignored because of the error, or some other code built that bridge
(nova? as it's owned by compute:nova ? I had no idea a bridge/interface
could have an owner...)
Regards,
Paul
