Title: if ip is specified on cmdline, networking should be brought up in initramfs Status in cloud-initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: if the initramfs has 'ip=' on the cmdline, it is arguable that we should bring the respective interface up as indicated. Currently, initramfs only does this if something thinks it should. Ie, open-iscsi might do it, or some other things might call 'configure_networking'. But it seems reasonable that if the user put 'ip=' on the cmdline then they wanted that to happen in initramfs. Additionally, one feature i'd like to have (admittedly for debug purposes) is the ability to write the /run/initramfs/open- iscsi.interface file that is used at least by open-iscsi to say "do not bring this interface down". I've done this before, the code to do it is available in intramfs-tools style module at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~smoser/maas/maas-pkg-test/files/head:/ephemtest-vivid/initrd-updates/ generically, it seems like it'd be nice to have a way to have the same functionality that open-iscsi.interface accomplishes but not tied to open-iscsi. Ie, the user may for any reason want to keep a network from getting re-configured by normal OS bringup. I used '/run/network/initramfs-persistent-iface' file to do that. that is explicitly to patch over an existing initramfs (no 'hooks' directory).
