Dear Maintainer,
While doing unrelated storage testing for our VMware integrated product, we
purposefully recreated
a storage outage by removing the iSCSI initiators from the backing array
hosting the vmdk disk
images for the virtual machine.
Upon removal of uplinks to storage, the VM goes into a R/O file system state
after 5-10 minutes.
When storage initiators are brought back up and the LUNs are rescanned, the VM
begins to
rapidly request DHCP leases from an ISC DHCP server. This DoS's the server in
a way due
to the number of DHCPDECLINE errors, and the interface attempts to take and
discard IP's in a
rapid fashion.
This only seems to appear on this distribution, and I can't replicate the
behavior on Debian 9
or in a desktop environment.
