When I try to execute sudo ip rule list or sudo ip rule the output just keeps scrolling with the following output. This is on Ubuntu 15.04
0: from all lookup local 0: from all lookup local 0: from all lookup local 0: from all lookup local 0: from all lookup local 0: from all lookup local
I also tried sudo ip rule flush but it just seems to hang in there
0: from all lookup local is a special local routing table. It cannot be deleted or overridden
If you run ip rule flush it will result's configured network will be removed in the location /run/network/ifstate
If you have logged in through SSH session it will result to Hung-up while providing ip rule flush
The issue was related to a bug in the kernel 3.19.0-37-generic I was running. For details see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-utopic/+bug/1514785
I upgraded my kernel to 3.19.0-49-generic. It works fine now.
