Public bug reported: I (smoser) removed cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf from ubuntu-server meta package. That package provides functionality needed by MAAS and cause bug 1748875. Under that bug we re-added cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf to the initramfs that MAAS publishes.
We subsequently saw failure in open-iscsi tests, which utilize that same function. My commit message to the fix of maas-images is below for informational purposes [1]: [1] https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/maas-images/trunk.lp1749019-re-add-cloud-intramfs-dyn-netconf/+merge/337605 'b' is *also* used by the open-iscsi use case. It boots with a slightly different form than maas images: BOOTIF_DEFAULT=eth0 and ip=:::::name:BOOTIF Here, 'BOOTIF' will be replaced with 'eth0'. | Re-add cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf. Needed by maas for BOOTIF in ip=. | | The previous commit to trunk dropped cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf from | the maas image in releases newer than xenial. | | That caused errors in MAAS. cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf does 2 things: | a.) writes /run/network/dynamic-interfaces | this is a ENI style file with data retrived from ipconfig | b.) convert 'BOOTIF' string in the value of IP | Example: | ip=::::foobar:BOOTIF BOOTIF=01-00-22-68-10-c1-e6 | will be effectively rendered as: | ip=::::foobar:eth0 | | 'b' is still required by maas. | | Note: in maas v3 images, the squashfs image is re-used pristine | from cloud-images. Because of this, the installation into the image | affects initramfs creation, but does not affect the image. That is | correct in that this package is not needed in the image but only | in the initramfs.
