Description of problem:
dracut sets interface parameters called valid_lft and preferred_lft but neither of these options are are documented in the man page. The values set are also listed when you print the interface's configuration.
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
but it takes a bit of digging to figure out what these values mean. These should be documented in the man page so that people know what they mean and how to set them.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.9.0-13
How reproducible:
always
