Thankyou for the patch. Sorry I've only just gotten around to looking at it.

So if I'm reading your patch correctly, it looks like just the act of doing an ifconfig up of an already up interface is enough to cause an NFS-mounted root filesystem to lose the plot? Unfortunately since you wrote your patch, we've gone and changed dhclient-script to use iproute2 instead of ifconfig and friends, so I'd like to know if the "ip link set dev blah up" we're now doing in place of the ifconfig call also causes the problem. If so, it won't be a problem for me to take the intent of your patch and adjust it for the way dhclient-script looks today. regards Andrew
