[Bug 777193] Re: ethtool settings may not apply on boot with separate /usr

[Mark Russell]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ethtool
  
  Description:  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:  10.04
  
  ethtool:
-   Installed: 6+20091202-1
-   Candidate: 6+20091202-1
+   Installed: 6+20091202-1
+   Candidate: 6+20091202-1
  
  System has ethtool setting in /etc/network/interfaces, in this case:
  HARDWARE_DMA_RING_ rx 512
  
  The default setting is 256.  You can check the setting with `ethtool -g
  eth0`.
  
  Expected behavior:  on startup (actually on any ifup), /etc/network/if-
  up.d/ethtool should run, read /etc/network/interfaces and apply ethtool
  settings if they are there.
  
  Observed behavior:  on this system, it's clear that /etc/network/if-
  up.d/ethtool is executed before /usr is mounted, therefore the setting
  does apply as the ethtool binary is on /usr.  The setting applies fine
  if you do an ifdown and ipup manually after startup.

  I will attach logs showing what's happening.
