I have some CoreOS bare metal instances that are displaying unusual behaviour on the docker0 bridge device.
On one of the instances where this has been occurring, I'm running couchbase server and it has caused some issues with rebalancing. When I moved couchbase to a node where this wasn't happening that problem went away.
What could be causing it? what determines the state of the bridge device?
hardware is identical. Configuration is identical except IP address.
