Public bug reported:
Cloud-init relies on the 'ip=' or 'ip6=' parameter to be present in the
kernel command line in order to consider /run/net-*.conf files. Those files
are written by the initramfs indicating that network is was configured.
When 'ip=' or 'ip6=' is found on the command line, cloud-init will consider
that to be "kernel command line provided" network, and renders a network
configuration like:
# control-manual ens3
iface ens3 inet dhcp
broadcast 10.0.3.255
dns-nameservers 169.254.169.254
gateway 10.0.3.1
The key there being that it is not marked 'auto'. If cloud-init does
not recognize this, it will render:
auto ens3
iface ens3 inet dhcp
There are some iscsi-root where initramfs configures networking
but the ip= parameter is not present. 2 such cases are:
a.) static config in /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs (copied into the initramfs)
b.) iBft
If the devices are marked 'auto', then 'networking.service' takes
the device down during shutdown. That causes any filesystem activity
to hang and block shutdown/reboot.
