Ha! I've just noticed this on the boot console too:
Enabling packet forwarding...done.
Configuring network interfaces...run-parts: failed to open directory /
etc/network/if-pre-up.d: Value too l
run-parts: failed to open directory /etc/network/if-up.d: Value too
large for defined data type
run-parts: failed to open directory /etc/network/if-pre-up.d: Value
too large for defined data type
run-parts: failed to open directory /etc/network/if-up.d: Value too
large for defined data type
Does this show up booting from image on USB or just over nfs? Anyone?
Googling this error generally seems to relate 2GB/4GB limits.
