Hi,

After a HD crash I had to reinstall suse and I chose 11.4

I was always able to cut the internet connection by using the "ifdown-dhcp
eth0" command, but that doesn't work here: the connection is still open.

Then I tried "sudo /sbin/rcnetwork stop" with the following result:


sudo /sbin/rcnetwork stop
Shutting down network interfaces:
eth0 device: Realtek etc
eth0 serves root filesystem. Leave it up.
eth0 skipped
Shutting down service network . . . . . . . . . done

How can I solve this? I want to be able to stop the connection when I don't
use the computer.

Do you use a network disk, like NFS of CIFS for the root filesystem?


Kind regards,

I'm not a Linux tech expert, but maybe this info will help:

The info seems to show a SATA disk made by Western Digital.
So it contradicts the error message.


Kind regards,

All info was given by openSUSE 11.4 . So probably a bug?

Thanks!

SOLVED by doing the following:

In file:

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0


change STARTMODE='nfsroot' into STARTMODE='onboot'

So the STARTMODE was conflicting with the local root filesystem.

Happy for you, that you solved the problem.
