 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | flokli: I think I've addressed all the comments on the networkd PR. Can we hit the merge button sometime soon? | 00:47:23 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | flokli: If flushBeforeStage2 is a blocker, let's split that out into a separate PR. I'm just confused why its a question now when it's been a part of scripted initrd for a long time. | 16:34:03 |

 @hexa:lossy.network | not sure what is unclear about setting the network down before leaving stage1 | 16:39:03 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | I consider that a mandatory step to not break network settings that stage2 wants to apply | 16:39:36 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | hexa: the systemd-networkd man page suggests not bringing things down before stage 2 so that everything stays configured all the way through. I think for the typical case, the configuration in stage 2 and stage 1 will be the same, so this seems fine to me? | 16:40:46 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | i.e. DHCP on interfaces X, Y, Z, and that's about it | 16:41:01 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | what if I try to rename a link in my stage2? | 16:41:11 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I would say that's atypical | 16:41:19 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and you can set flushBeforeStage2 = true for that :) | 16:41:28 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | basically what you're saying is that people should configure their whole networking in stage1 as opposed to stage2? | 16:42:01 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | No? | 16:42:15 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | For stage 1, most people probably just want DHCP on one or all of the physical interfaces, as configured typically with networking.useDHCP or networking.interfaces.... Then stage 2 can take over network configuration and add any fancier things on top of that, but presumably most people will still want those same interfaces configured with DHCP | 16:44:28 |
