[Bug 926229] Re: [network/multi_nic] test hangs on dhclient when run

[Jeff Lane]

NOTE: I've marked this Fix Committed for the Checkbox task only.  The
branch I've linked ONLY provides a workaround to this issue in the
checkbox test case, it does NOT address the root cause, which appears to
be wonkiness with dhclient itself.

** Changed in: checkbox
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed

Title:
  [network/multi_nic] test hangs on dhclient when run

Status in Checkbox System Testing:
  Fix Committed
Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  DIscovered this while testing a server during a test run of the
  checkbox offline process.

  First, the config:

  1U server with 2 eth ports.  To install, I completely simulated the
  offline experience by disconnecting both NIC ports from my LAN,
  installing Precise Server alpha 2 from USB stick and then installing
  the checbox-certification tarball.

  After that was installed, I reconnected the NIC ports to my LAN.

  Note that because they were not connected during installation, there
  is no config for them in /etc/network/interfaces.

  Next, I started checkbox-certification and allowed it to begin
  testing.  Once it hit network/multi_nic it just stopped.

  The process being run at the time was dhclient, the first step in the
  multi_nic test.

  Unfortunately, I forgot to save any logs before reinstalling the
  system for other things...
