Hi, I'm playing with images using nfs root, my host is debian sid amd64,
I build images for buster amd64

I'm using qemu:

kvm \
    -m 2048 \
    -vga qxl \
    -serial stdio \
    -usb -device usb-tablet \
    -soundhw hda \
    -netdev user,id=net0,host=192.168.76.1,net=192.168.76.0/24,dhcpstart=192.168.76.9 \
    -device e1000,netdev=net0 \
    -drive file=disk.img,if=ide,format=qcow2 \
    -kernel binary/live/vmlinuz \
    -initrd binary/live/initrd.img \
    -append "boot=live persistence components netboot=nfs locales=it_IT.UTF-8 nfsroot=192.168.76.1:/home/sherpya/live-default/binary console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty"


/etc/exports:

/home/sherpya/live-default/binary *(ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)

The system works fine but I'm unable to shutdown or reboot:

In a previous build (some days ago) it was working.
I have the same problem using files from debian live iso

I suppose the system cannot shutdown ethernet if the root is on nfs, and nfs live mount cannot
be unmounted.

I've seen around someone suggesting to make systemd ignore interface shutdown problems

If you have tried with debian live iso too, I don't think this has
anything to do with live-build?

It does not, it uses live-wrapper. Did you see this problem with
official debian live images? Or custom-built with live-build?

Isn't debian live iso made using live-build?
Unfortunately I was not able to make a non systemd live iso

Both, but a build (live-build) made some days before reporting the bug
was working

Hi,

I'd add another datapoint - I experience the same problem, with the machine
in question being a Parallels VM on a macOS M2 host system.

Debian version in both the builder system used to build the image with
live-build and the live system is bookworm, architecture arm64.

Kind regards
Marco
