So all of you userland control-plane fanatics, how will you handle things like NFS root with these daemon-required variants of NDISC and ARP?
I know the devils' advocate responses already, so don't bother with responses saying things like 1) "do it in the initial ramdisk, we only need the daemon to setup the NDISC entries to talk to the NFS server" or 2) "IPSEC's control plane is in userspace and therefore we can't do NFS root over IPSEC, why is that ok and key'd NDISC is not?" I think we are building systems which gradually are becomming less and less reliable, with increasing numbers of possible points of failure. Flexibility is overrated. There are many crucial optimizations and simplifications we cannot perform because we've made certain aspects of network configuration far too flexible. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
