Some conversation in ubuntu-devel yesterday [1]. This seems to have been caused by the fix for bug 800824. That change [2] was done to address failure of networking to appear as started a container. Per Steve, "that looks like a wrong workaround for bug #925122".
Hopefully what that means is we can remove this code and lxc containers still boot correctly even in precise (in which case we should probably SRU that). -- [1] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/07/31/%23ubuntu-devel.html#t01:41 [2] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/revision/405 ** Summary changed: - /sbin/resolvconf -a depends on /run/resolvconf/interface but it may not exist + cloud-init-nonet runs 'start networking' explicitly ** Description changed: In development of 'overlayroot' package, I was mounting / as rw in the initramfs. This was causing a different order of execution of mounts, and as a result a different order of networking resolvconf and networking bringup. It exposed a bug in resolvconf, which was being called on boot in this order: ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:58 UTC 2012 /sbin/resolvconf -a lo.inet ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /sbin/dhclient-script ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /sbin/resolvconf -a eth0.dhclient ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /sbin/resolvconf -a eth0.inet ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /sbin/resolvconf --enable-updates ==== ==== Mon Jul 30 19:08:59 UTC 2012 /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc -u ==== The normal order is for resolvconf --enable-updates to be called (from /etc/init/resolvconf.conf) before anything else.
