Hello Si-Wei, or anyone else affected, Accepted initramfs-tools into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs- tools/0.130ubuntu3.11 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820929 Title: netplan should consider adding more udev attribute for exact matching of failover 3-netdev interfaces Status in netplan: Triaged Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Status in netplan.io package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in initramfs-tools source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in netplan.io source package in Bionic: New Status in systemd source package in Bionic: New Bug description: [Impact] * At present, virtual machines utilizing net_failover network interface configurations are incorrectly configured due to the reliance on the MAC address to identify specific network interfaces. When net_failover is utilized, multiple interfaces will bear the same MAC address (the net_failover master itself, as well as the interfaces subordinate to it), rendering the MAC address ineffective for unique identification of the interface. This results in incorrect naming of network interfaces from the "set-name" directive in the netplan configuration. * The solution here is to use the interface name instead of the MAC address when the interface is a net_failover master device. Logic is added on initramfs-tools to check the device type and virtio flags to apply this change only to net_failover master devices. [Test Case] * The change can be tested by configuring a virtual machine with a virtio_net network device with the "failover=on" option to the "-device" option to qemu, e.g., -device virtio-net- pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3,mac=00:00:17:00:18:04,failover=on * This will set the virtio device "standby" feature bit (bit 62, counting from 0). This requires a version of qemu with support for this feature. * When so configured, the netplan configuration generated by initramfs will not contain a "macaddress:" match directive for the network interface in question. [Regression Potential] * Erroneous identification of a network interface as a net_failover master device could lead to omission of a macaddress directive, causing interfaces to be incorrectly named.
