Will openrc support RC_DOWN_INTERFACE again? Thanks. Reproducible: Always
I've added a patch to OpenRC git repo that allows ifdown_eth0=NO to stop the interface from being downed. sysvinit will need a patch to stop doing this by default OR make it toggleable somehow. Looking at the BSD's, their halt procedures don't actually touch the interface and as the init scripts do, it's probably safe just to remove the -i option.
Looks like this is long term bug, but I need to be able to reboot my guest vserver today. What would be a quick fix for it?.. Currently, it fails with the follow message: bash# reboot WARNING: could not determine runlevel - doing soft reboot (it's better to use shutdown instead of reboot from the command line) Broadcast message from root (pts/2) (Sat Jun 21 08:56:07 2008): The system is going down for reboot NOW! shutdown: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory init: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory
I don't see what that has todo with this bug. Also, you should not use reboot directly - instead use shutdown shutdown -r now Is what you want.

It's already in OpenRC-0.2.5, which is in portage

From OpenRC's perspective, yes. sysvinit may down the interface though - that may still need a patch.
So this bug will stay open until sysvinit is patched? Thanks for the reply.

Fixed in 0.3.0.

Why isn't ifdown_eth0=NO added as an option to /etc/rc.conf?
