Re: hotplug logical devices?
I just installed hotplug 0.0.20040329-6 and I find that debconf
now asks the question "How to manage network interfaces with ifupdown?"
and gives three options:
all
auto
hotplug
The last one is the traditional "ifup eth0=hotplug" behavior.
The first one can be implemented using "=hotplug" and a mapping stanza
and so isn't required.
The second will cause hotplug to ifup all interfaces that are
marked "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces. But those are precisely
the interfaces that one does _not_ want hotplug to ifup! Interfaces
marked "auto" are ifup'ped at boot time by /etc/rcS.d/S40networking.
Someone is very confused here -- either the hotplug maintainer or me.
(Probably both.)
