This appears to cause latency issues for other tasks on the system due to all the "/sbin/ifup ethx" processes that get created. We're seeing these processes being created by udevd directly, by /sbin/hotplug, and by /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net.hotplug (which is in turn created by udevd). Can someone shed some light as to why ifup gets called from three different places for the same event, and whether it's expected to cause latency issues? Also, is there anything we can do to streamline this?
