Description Flags
untested patch to find and copy old leasefile to new location with uuid none

Description Bill Nottingham 2012-04-30 19:12:21 UTC
Description of problem:

initscripts uses /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient{6}-${DEVICE}.leases as the lease file name.

It would be nice if NM could notice this as being newer/active and copy it to its own lease file on startup, allowing more seamless lease takeover.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL 6 NM

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-06 04:06:58 UTC
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

I think this is a duplicate of, or strongly related to, bug #607921.

Note I've just attached a patch to that bug, which modifies the sysv networking scripts to use the same lease file format as NetworkManager.  This is just another way to solve the same problem: rather than changing NetworkManager to copy the initscripts file over when it starts, we just change the initscripts file to use the same file format as NetworkManager.

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-06 22:38:53 UTC
