I want to create two separate bonding devices with two slaves each

The default max bonding device is 1. See . Try setting it to 2 or more.

Can you provide an example of /etc/network/interfaces with two IP addresses on the same bonding interface ?
Thanks

And I have need for an active failover bond consisting of two load balanced bonds. I fear bonding only supports enslaving of “real” eth interfaces, though. Has anobody tried that?

This howto is incomplete. What if I have 4 NICs and I want to create two separate bonding devices with two slaves each ?

As far as I have tried, I manage to get the bond0 interface up but I can not get bond1 up using /etc/network/interfaces.
