Subject: Copy dhclient.leases before switchroot?
Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 17:50:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A1329A2.4030001@redhat.com> (raw)
mkinitrd does this after dhclient, before switchroot:
cp /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient.leases /sysroot/dev/.dhclient-$dev.leases
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth contains:
# copy any lease obtained by the initrd
if [ -f /dev/.dhclient-${DEVICE}.leases ] ; then
mv -f /dev/.dhclient-${DEVICE}.leases /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-${DEVICE}.leases
[ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && restorecon /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-${DEVICE}.leases > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
I personally have never needed this, but some networks might need dhclient to refresh the lease after bootup?
Implementing this would be Red Hat specific, and I'm not sure how valuable it is. Any opinions?
