Code:

betty ~ # /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 stop
 * Bringing down interface ppp0
 *   root filesystem is network mounted -- can't stop ppp0
 * ERROR: net.ppp0 failed to stop


The computer I am using as my router is running diskless with / mounted nfs via eth1. The check in net.lo does not seem to care what interface / is mounted on, only that / is network mounted. So even though ppp0 has nothing to do with / the init script still refuses to stop it.

Instead of a symlink from net.lo to net.ppp0 I copy net.lo to net.ppp0 then remove that check so I can start/stop ppp0 when I want. Repeat whenever the network init scripts are updated. Wondering how others deal with this.

See /etc/rc.conf - you can remove dependencies there.

The closest I have found is rc_depend_strict which does nothing with regards this and extra_net_fs_list which is not what I want. The check in net.lo is checking if / is mounted via the network and acting on that.

Code:

      if is_net_fs /; then
         eerror "root filesystem is network mounted -- can't stop ${IFACE}"
         return 1
      fi


That is the code I removed from stop() in net.ppp0. The function is_net_fs determines / is nfs with no apparent check to determine which interface it is mounted via.

Code:
# You can also remove dependencies.
# This is mainly used for saying which servies do NOT provide net.
#rc_net_tap0_provide="!net"


Did you try this?

Just tried that and nothing changed. Would have been surprised if it had worked.

I'm surprised it didn't work, what exactly did you enable? rc_net_ppp0_provide="!net" ?

I set rc_net_ppp0_provide="!net"
Used a modified net.ppp0 so I could stop ppp0.
Used a std net.ppp0 to start it.
Tried stopping ppp0 with the std net.ppp0 and it refused to stop because / is network mounted.

At the moment I do not think it is a net dependency. I think it is simple code that blocks the stopping of any network interface when / on a net fs.

Got something that works. Tried the following in /etc/conf.d/net. Allowed me to shutdown ppp0 at will using an unmodified net.ppp0 while still retaining the normal check for / on net fs.

Code:

predown() {
    if [ "${IFACE}" == "ppp0" ]
    then
        return 0
    fi
    if is_net_fs /; then
        eerror "root filesystem is network mounted -- can't stop ${IFACE}"
        return 1
    fi
    return 0
}


Instead of singling out ppp0 for special treatment, as / is always mounted via eth1 changed the above to

Code:

predown() {
    if [ "${IFACE}" == "eth1" ]
    then
        return 1
    fi
    return 0
}


allowing me to play with eth0 & ppp0 much as I want while forcing eth1 to stay up for /.
