Hi Ana,

In testing the debian rootfs images for NFS, Matt Hart and I both
noticed that the full.rootfs.tar.xz images don't work for NFS because
the systemd network init causes a (re)init of networking while actively
using an NFSroot.  This causes things to grind to a halt.

So the first question is whether anyone knows if systemd can be made
pursuaded to not try to reconfigure networking.

Ideally, we'd like a single rootfs image to be either a ramdisk, where
it might need to (re)configure networking and an NFSroot where it
definitely should not reconfigure networking.

It would be a shame to have to have different images for ramdisk vs. NFS
just for network init.

Ideas?

Kevin
