Bug#544280: udev raises interfaces not listed in /etc/network/interfaces
Package: udev
Version: 0.141-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I can't understand why udev (through /lib/udev/net.agent) would raise
interfaces not listed in /etc/network/interfaces. It is slowing down
unnecessarily the boot process. I am not aware of all the subtelty of udev,
so maybe I am mistaken. If so could you explain me why this is done this way ?
Regards,
Bertrand
PS Here is the very small patch I use on my system wich doesn't seem to affect
my networking and speed up my boot process of 2 seconds:

Bug#544280: udev raises interfaces not listed in /etc/network/interfaces
Marco d'Itri a écrit : Me neither. What are you talking about? Here is my /etc/interfaces : # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback It is quite empty, and I don't expect udev to ifup (that's what I meant with raise) my other real interfaces. I do that later when I need the interface (or Network-manager does it if I let it). And it seems to me (and to bootchart) that /lib/udev/net.agent is trying to ifup all my interfaces without my horribly wrong patch. With the original net.agent, bootchart reports a 4-5 sec execution of net.agent during boot. With my patch bootcharts reports a normal process (less than a sec). Again I know little about udev, I am mostly looking for explainations. It's very small but also totally wrong, so it's not very useful. It is horribly wrong indeed, I just gave it to explain what I was talking about (note that I didn't tagged the bug as patched). Googling about net.agent, you'll even find poeple not happy with it just placing at the beginning of the file a exit 0.
