Package: systemd
Version: 257.9-1~deb13u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
i use a script to pin the network interface names to fixed values. This script
deposits the generated .link files into "/usr/local/lib/systemd/network/".
I need the pinning to happen before the root filesystem gets mounted, since i
use Network-Bound Disk Encryption to encrypt my root fs.
However i discovered, that the relevant .link files are not copied from
"/usr/local/lib/systemd/network/" into the initramfs.
The udev hook script at "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev" only copies the
.link files from "/usr/lib/systemd/network/" and "/etc/systemd/network".
Since systemd respects link files in all three paths, one would expect the
files of all three paths to also be copied into the initramfs for pinning
before the root fs gets mounted.
Sincerely
Arne Stephan
Excerpt from the udev hook script in systemd package version 259.1-1 (lines
37-42):
# copy .link files containing interface naming definitions
mkdir -p "$DESTDIR/usr/lib/systemd/network/"
find -L /usr/lib/systemd/network -name '*.link*' -execdir cp -r -pt
"$DESTDIR/usr/lib/systemd/network/" '{}' +
if [ -d /etc/systemd/network ]; then
find -L /etc/systemd/network -name '*.link*' -execdir cp -r -pt
"$DESTDIR/usr/lib/systemd/network/" '{}' +
fi
