Description of problem: The systemd-networkd dracut module is a more lightweight alternative to the network/ifcfg dracut modules. As far as I can see the included networkd only establishes a network connection if some configuration under /etc/systemd/network is included as well. There doesn't seem to be one generated, either. Thus, including the /etc/systemd/network files from the system during initramfs generation makes sense. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-network-046-8.git20180105.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network 2. dracut -f --add systemd-network 3. lsinitrd /boot/initramfs....img | grep wired Actual results: no output Expected results: ... etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network Additional info: I can see that on a machine with some elaborate network configuration it would make sense to have a different (simpler) network configuration in early userspace. But then I would expect some way to disable the default inclusion. Also, there is some trade-off in what to include and what not - e.g. /etc/modprobe.d/ and /etc/sysctl.d/ files are included in the initramfs, by default. But of course, there is some limit in what to include. However, I think when a user explicitly adds the systemd-networkd dracut module then including the /etc/systemd/network/ files arguably is expected, as well.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
