In the current state, services that depend on network need to
use dracut hooks, since nothing with pull in the network
targets into the transaction.
In the future, it would be nice to provide developers on systemd-only
systems the possibility to not use dracut hooks at all, but simply put
normal systemd services into the initrd.
Also, some modules even right now depend on systemd ordering, like
cryptsetup, so let's make sure, that the ordering inside systemd work
properly as well.
Instead of running directly NM with --debug, create a drop-in in
nm-config.sh. This will make sure, that we can get the debug output
regardless the way how NM will be started.
On EL8.3 the NetworkManager keep restarting even if it exits successfully while waiting for Clevis to unlock. This patch ensures NetworkManager runs only once in initrd.
Since commit ff70adf873ef ("initrd: save hostname to a file in /run"),
the initrd generator of NetworkManager parses the hostname from 'ip='
options of the kernel command line and writes it to
/run/NetworkManager/initrd/hostname.
When that file exists, set the kernel hostname.
In presence of multiple hostnames in the command line, the last one
wins. Hostnames from command line always have precedence over ones
received through DHCP. This is a bit different from the legacy network
module that gives higher precedence to the hostname (from DHCP or
command line) of the last interface that is brought up, which depends
on the udev order.
The network-manager command line hook must install a
initqueue/finished hook to ensure that nm-run.sh is executed when
there are network connections to activate.
Fixes: #694
NetworkManager would unnecessarily bring up the devices, colliding with
further attempts to rename the devices.
This is arguably a NetworkManager bug and should eventually be fixed there.
Running NetworkManager without the connection is unnecessary regardless.
commit 5e0f8c8a4c ('network-manager: remove useless use of basename')
somewhat carelessly didn't take into account that $_i has a slash at
the end which made the result of the ## substitution be just an empty
string.
The slash was put to the end of /sys/class/net/*/ to make sure we're only
iterating directories, but it's not strictly necessary. In an unlikely case
something else than a directory appears in /sys/class/net/, we'll already deal
with it gracefully. Remove it.
This fixes the TEST-30-ISCSI test.
Look for "connection-uuid" instead of "managed" to determine the devices
that are actually activated with a connection and call the online hook.
This fixes the anaconda-net root mount, which utilizes the online hook.
