Don't forget that "persistence" applies to network interfaces just as much as to block devices. > I suggest a setting per interface in sysfs. That approach isn't feasible. For one thing, "persistence" applies to entire devices, not to interfaces. For another, we can't make a device persistent unless we also make all its ancestor hubs persistent. (If a hub disappears during resume then its children are destroyed too.) While a per-device flag might be workable, I think the most straightforward approach is a single system-wide On/Off setting.
