Hello,
while integrating InitNG with my system I have come across a problem I cannot
solve myself. It is connected to net/ip, daemon/dhcpcd and system/netmount.
net/net uses the /sbin/{ifup,ifdown} scripts to bring the interface up (and
down respectively). Digging into these scripts, I found that they will start
the DHCP client if needed. However, the script daemon/{dhcpcd,dhclient} also
exisits, so I assume that these scripts are added to let InitNG control the
client daemons if started up. system/netmount needs a working network
interface, so it depends on virtual/net. That's clear to me.
Now here comes the problem: I added daemon/dhcpcd because my link is
configured via DHCP and I want InitNG to control the DHCP client. I also use
system/netmount to mount remote /home directories. On system shutdown, the
DHCP client is killed before the NFS shares are unmounted, since
system/netmount does not depend on daemon/dhcpcd. However, NFS shares cannot
be cleanly unmounted without a working link.
I solved this problem until now by adding "provide = virtual/dhcp" to
daemon/dhcpcd and "use = virtual/dhcp" to system/netmount. Is this a correct
solution or should it work another way?
Thanks for the fish. :-)
