Title:
initramfs-tools/hooks/udev for network *.link really sucks
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
If one creates e.g. /etc/systemd/network.cu and
/etc/systemd/network.fc and symlinks /etc/systemd/network to one of
them, network setup will fail on reboot, because /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/hooks/udev does a very poor job: it simply checks for a
directory instead of the link files and therefore skips copying
required files to the ram image. Another poor job is done when copying
the files to the ram image: instead of following symlinks it copies
them as which in turn makes them useless, because it does not copy the
related dirs and thus the symlinks point to nothing. So keeping the
system in an consistent state which such poor scripts is very hard,
asking for trouble.
Suggested fix is attached.
