[Bug 1492546] Re: ifdown stops "manual" interfaces on shutdown

[Martin Pitt]

I fixed ifupdown to not "down" an interface which is "manual". This
behaves according to the documentation again, and should fix this even
without the old check_network_file_systems() from
/etc/init.d/networking.

Alkis, would be great if you could test with 0.8.8ubuntu2!

Title:
  ifdown stops "manual" interfaces on shutdown

Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in ltsp package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ifupdown package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  The unit /lib/systemd/system/ifup at .service 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
  ifup at .service.
