| antifuchs | so, somewhat serious question though, I don't think boot.kernel.sysfs.class.net.eno8np0.device.sriov_numvfs = 32; is working; the path never triggers, even though the file exists. when I manually start the service, it applies the setting; is that boot.kernel.sysfs handling broken somehow, or am I expecting it to do something impossible? | 23:35:29 |

 Sandro 🐧 | I had before that I needed to manually load a kernel module early on (as in with the option for it) to make the sysfs paths available when the sysfs service starts | 13:02:08 |
| antifuchs | huh, do you remember what kernel module that is? | 16:29:16 |

| antifuchs | thank you! | 20:17:53 |
| antifuchs | sounds like I need to pull in the one managing the VF functionality, that makes sense | 20:18:17 |

| Sandro 🐧 | glad I could help | 14:27:17 |
| Sandro 🐧 | I couldn't find much about that online unfortunately, takes a bit of guessing | 14:27:39 |

| antifuchs | systemd-networkd is being a bit weird. networkctl status says /etc/systemd/network/50-vnet.network: RequiredForOnline=yes and ActivationPolicy=manual, this may cause a delay at boot. but the file is:
:; cat /etc/systemd/network/50-vnet.network
[Match]
Name=vnet*
[Link]
ActivationPolicy=manual
RequiredForOnline=no-carrier
Unmanaged=true
[Network]
ConfigureWithoutCarrier=true
| 20:18:35 |
| antifuchs | RequiredForOnline is not yes? | 20:18:54 |
