Bug#809166: networking.service does not prevent ifdown with network file systems

[Martin Pitt]

Hey Guus,

This should be unrelated to network-online.target. networking.service
has "Conflicts=shutdown.target" and thus will always be stopped during
shutdown/reboot, you can see

  [  OK  ] Stopped Raise network interfaces.

So with NFS or iscsi this will now mean that shutdown will be rather
broken/hanging after that point.

I don't have an iscsi installation handy right now, but I can set one
up. I filed this as I was reviewing networking.service with Michael
and we noticed that this functionality was gone, and I also got a
report that this regressed with latest systemd
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/1492546) -- that's an independent
regression though, and I'll handle that.

So maybe the effects with this are bearable, I didn't yet investigate
it on an actually affected system. So please feel free to close if you
are convinced that this check isn't necessary any more, I mostly filed
this as a reminder.

Thanks,

Martin
