Hi all,
I'm trying to setup a machine with root on iSCSI via iBFT
(on SR-IOV, yay!).
But anyhow, I'll be setting 'ip=ibft' on the commandline as per
documentation and the iBFT settings are applied and everything is
nice and dandy.
It's only that dracut complains during boot:
Jun 03 16:28:11 localhost dracut-cmdline[80]: ibft
Jun 03 16:28:11 localhost dracut-cmdline[80]: Warning: Please supply
bootdev argument for multiple ip= lines
Jun 03 16:28:11 localhost dracut-cmdline[80]: Warning: Setting
bootdev to 'ibft0'
Looking closer, setting 'ip=ibft' triggers 'ibft_to_cmdline()',
which will add _another_ ip= argument to the dracut commandline.
And consequently parse_ip_opts() complains here.
While it's quite easy to fix (just ignore ip=ibft when checking for
duplicate ip arguments), I do wonder whether this is the correct way.
Thing is, 'ip=ibft' is not really an ip setting, but rather a marker
that iBFT should be evaluated.
As such, wouldn't 'rd.iscsi.firmware=ibft' be a more appropriate
setting?
Seeing that the ip argument is added to the commandline anyway,
having a duplicate 'ip=ibft' setting does look a bit odd.
And confuses the logic ...
Cheers,
Hannes
