Description Per Jessen 2015-03-22 10:30:10 UTC
Created attachment 627931 [details]
excerpt from /var/log/messages after a start-up.

Maybe this is intentional, but wicked/dns-resolver seems to be unnecessarily noisy despite there being nothing to do, see attached.  None of the interfaces use dhcp, so why should wicked want to modify /etc/resolv.conf ?
Comment 1 Marius Tomaschewski 2015-03-23 13:17:11 UTC
Wicked is calling "netconfig update" to update diverse files -- on of them
is /etc/resolv.conf. The update is not limitted to dhcp or resolv.conf, but
is also about applying /etc/sysconfig/network/config NETCONFIG_* variables
and other lease types [e.g. ibft] and complains when something modified them.

When you prefer to maintain these files manually, please configure properly
and reset to use NETCONFIG_*_POLICY="" or even NETCONFIG_MODULES_ORDER="".
Or use "netconfig update -f" to force an update once.
