RFC: configuration file for storing persistent FCoE information

[Hans de Goede <hdegoede redhat com>]

Hi All,

When using FCoE, and it is not used for /
(when it is used for / this becomes the initrd's problem),
then rc.sysinit needs to bring up the FCoE fabric, in
order to do this rc.sysinit needs to know:

1) That FCoE is being used
2) Which NIC is connected to the FCoE SAN.


So we will need a config file for this. I can imagine
using /etc/sysconfig/fcoe

With a single line in there like:
NIC=eth0

The idea to use keyword <-> value pairs here is to have
this extensible. I'm open to suggestions, and esp to
input about how this is handled in other distro's / by
upstream provided scripts.

Regards,

Hans
