Fedora {{Template:DocsDict/BeatsVer}} features the Upstart initialization system.  All System V init scripts should run fine in compatibility mode. However, users who have made customizations to their <code>/etc/inittab</code> file will need to port those modifications to upstart. For information on how upstart works, see the <code>init(8)</code> and <code>initctl(8)</code> man pages. For information on writing upstart scripts, see the <code>events(5)</code> man page, and also the Upstart Getting Started Guide:

Due to the change of init systems, it is recommended that users who do an upgrade on a live file system to Fedora 9, reboot soon afterwards.
The `udisks2` package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems.  Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.


=== NetworkManager ===
Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by `storaged`, an enhanced fork of the udisks project.  `storaged` is a drop-in replacement for `udisks2`, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like `Cockpit` in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.


Fedora {{Template:DocsDict/BeatsVer}} features NetworkManager. NetworkManager 0.7 provides improved mobile broadband support, including GSM and CDMA devices, and now supports multiple devices, ad-hoc networking for sharing connections, and the use of system-wide network configuration. It is now enabled by default on all installations. When using NetworkManager, be aware of the following:
Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .
 
* NetworkManager does not currently support all virtual device types. Users who use bridging, bonding, or VLANs may need to switch to the old <code>network</code> service after configuration of those interfaces.


* NetworkManager starts the network asynchronously.  Users who have applications that require the network to be fully initialized during boot should set the <code>NETWORKWAIT</code> variable in <code>/etc/sysconfig/network</code>. Please [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora file bugs]  about cases where this is necessary, so we can fix the applications in question.

Autofs is no longer installed by default. Users who wish to use Autofs can choose it from the ''System Tools'' group in the installer, or with the package installation tools.

=== Varnish ===
 
Varnish is updated to version 2.0. The VCL syntax has changed from version 1.x. Users who upgrade from 1.x must change their vcl files according to README.redhat. The most important changes are:
 
* In vcl, the word "insert" must be replaced by "deliver"
* In the vcl declaration of backends, "set backend" has been simplified to "backend", and backend parts are now just prefixed with a dot, so the default localhost configuration will look like this:
 
backend default {
  .host = "127.0.0.1";
  .port = "80";
}

storaged replaces udisks2

The udisks2 package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.

Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by storaged, an enhanced fork of the udisks project. storaged is a drop-in replacement for udisks2, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like Cockpit in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.

Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .
