+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1121258 +++ 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): iproute-3.14.0-2.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: always --- Additional comment from RHEL Product and Program Management on 2014-07-18 15:18:21 EDT --- Since this bug report was entered in bugzilla, the release flag has been set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Switching to rawhide as it's a rather minor documentation issue to be handled upstream. We might revisit the question of Fedora releases when it's done.
