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.
