Public bug reported:
network-interface.conf handles new network interfaces. Unfortunately, at boot
it is called while the root system is still read-only.
Not to mention the command "mkdir -p /run/network" that is not going to work
with ro root, dhcpclient cannot write leases and fails. Static address is still
somehow succeeding. wpasupplicant does not work either.
Not understanding upstart structure well enough (are there dependency graph
visualisation tools?), I have just added
"mount -orw,remount /" before the "mkdir" command. This fixed the network
interface configuration at boot.
I know this will interfere with fsck.
Surely there are better ways to fix it...please? I see a lot of dumbfounded
folk scratching their heads why simple /etc/network/interfaces configuration
does not work.
