Looks like the package "ifupdown" for sysvinit is missing the ability to use WAIT_ONLINE_* To be more precise: WAIT_ONLINE_* is used in /lib/ifupdown/wait-online.sh. That file used only from systemd: /lib/systemd/system/ifupdown-wait-online.service:ExecStart=/lib/ifupdown/wait-online.sh This is the solution that I came up with: #$ diff /tmp/networking /etc/init.d/networking 138,143c138,143 < if ifup -a $exclusions $verbose && ifup_hotplug $exclusions $verbose < then < log_action_end_msg $? < else < log_action_end_msg $? < fi --- > > BG=$( [ "$WAIT_ONLINE_METHOD" = "none" ] && echo '&') > ( > ifup -a $exclusions $verbose && ifup_hotplug $exclusions > $verbose > log_action_end_msg $? > )$BG At least "WAIT_ONLINE_METHOD=none" would be working as documented and remove that bootdelay when booting without network. Thoughts on this?
