From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Warren Togami Subject: Reminder: /tmp/net.$netif.* files Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:57:10 -0400 Message-ID: <4A392E76.5020909@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: initramfs-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: initramfs If you write a file to /tmp/net.$netif.* please be sure it only exists if that interface ends up as part of the netboot. The net.* files are to be considered post-switch_root by initscripts or NetworkManager. We don't want those tools to be confused by net.* files from aborted interfaces that were not part of the netboot. A tricky part might be ensuring net.* files for constituent interfaces part of layered interfaces like bridges or bonds, in addition to net.* files for the bridge or bond.
