You have been subscribed to a public bug: In development of 'overlayroot' package, I was mounting / as rw in the initramfs. This was causing a different order of execution of mounts, and as a result a different order of networking resolvconf and networking bringup.
It exposed a bug in resolvconf, which was being called on boot in this order: ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:58 UTC 2012 /sbin/resolvconf -a lo.inet ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /sbin/dhclient-script ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /sbin/resolvconf -a eth0.dhclient ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /sbin/resolvconf -a eth0.inet ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /sbin/resolvconf --enable-updates ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc -u ==== The normal order is for resolvconf --enable-updates to be called (from /etc/init/resolvconf.conf) before anything else. As a result, I was seeing errors like: resolvconf: Error: /run/resolvconf/interface either does not exist or is not a directory This may be exposing a more grave issue, in that I believe the reason for dhclient coming up before resolvconf.conf started was that it was being run as a result of /etc/init/network-interface.conf. I don't immediately see how that is guarnateed to have /run ounted at all.
