I also filed a (Debian) bug against LTSP yesterday, about improving this "hiding" of the eth interface from NetworkManager directly. This avoids having to rely on these subtleties of ifupdown.
** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #810934 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810934 ** Also affects: ltsp (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810934 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Triaged ** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Summary changed: - ifdown stops "manual" interfaces on shutdown + ifdown stops LTSP's "manual" interface on shutdown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ifupdown in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492546 Title: ifdown stops LTSP's "manual" interface on shutdown Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ltsp package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in ifupdown package in Debian: Unknown Status in ltsp package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: The unit /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] is Debian and Ubuntu specific, it's not part of upstream systemd. On shutdown, it unconditionally ifdowns all interfaces: ExecStop=/sbin/ifdown %I This is a regression from previous init systems (sysvinit and upstart) which cared so that when a network file system was in use, they didn't ifdown the interfaces. Specifically, both /etc/init.d/networking and /etc/init/networking contain these functions: check_network_file_systems() check_network_swaps() which output the message "not deconfiguring network interfaces: network file systems still mounted" and exit. So, please call the same functions in the ExecStop= part of [email protected].
