Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.10 Severity: normal
About one in every 1000 boots, I see this error message. I've modified /etc/init.d/networking to run ifup -va and I can see that the file is successfully written for lo, but then fails for eth0, then doesn't attempt to bring up eth1 or wlan0, yet after the boot sequence completes, I login, and I can see /etc/network/run/ifstate contains: lo=lo eth0=eth0 eth1=eth1 wlan0=wlan0 The pre-up scripts for wlan0 do appear to have been run, so I'm not sure why the file appears this way. This screenshot [1] may be of some help in explaining the issue. There is an ls -l /etc/network/run/ifstate /etc/network/run/ immediately preceding the ifup -va. /etc/network/run is a symlink to /dev/shm/network on tmpfs, as / is mounted read-only.
