Hello,

using xCAT 2.15.1 on CentOS 8.1 I see that the xcatpostinit1.service unit file list an After= dependency on the network.target target.

I was wondering why not on network-online.target instead ?

As a matter of fact, as explained here:

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/

"network.target has very little meaning during start-up. It only indicates that the network management stack is up after it has been reached."

whereas

"network-online.target is a target that actively waits until the nework is "up""

As this xcatpostinit1 is meant to run xcatpost to run postscript and also notify node status, I would have expected to depend on a fully up network.

Besides, with the current lesser dependency, cannot it race against NetworkManager for Network setup, in theory at least?

What do you think ?

Thanks
