Version: 0.8.31
Severity: normal
My system is booting from iSCSI. This implies that the network interface
has to be always up.
The ifupdown-wait-online.service blocks booting for 5 minutes:
iscsistart: version 2.0-874
iscsistart: initiator reported error (15 - session exists)
root: recovering journal
root: clean, 228233/2064384 files, 2669304/8257536 blocks

The ifupdown-wait-online.service should recognize that the interface
eth0 is already up and configure eth0:1.
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.1.14
netmask 255.255.255.0
