Hello again everybody,
getting into much more detail regarding this issue of interfaces, networks and
domains here's something else for the Wiki.....
(On the http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:tt_change_net_hardware page perhaps)
I was thinking about how to rename eth1 and eth2 so that I didn't have to move
the cables.
This would be very useful if you are re-configuring a remote machine - if a
little adventurous to be doing this remotely ;)
I remembered that I had done this before and so I took a look at my
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file:
# PCI device 0x100b:0x0020 (natsemi)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:00:24:c4:3f:cc", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
# PCI device 0x100b:0x0020 (natsemi)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:00:24:c4:3f:ce", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2"
# PCI device 0x100b:0x0020 (natsemi)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:00:24:c4:3f:cd", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
This is a Net4801 so I assume that the MAC addresses are normally sequential
(as
above - ...:cc = eth0, ...:cd = eth1 , ...:ce = eth2)
BUT,
If I remember right this is also going to be the _order_ that the interfaces
are
brought up.
How does this affect the boot progress?
Can it be that the boot process expects interfaces to be present that haven't
yet come up?
And then a little more tricky....
What happens if someone edits this file, deletes all the lines and saves an
empty file?
i.e. on next boot the file exists but is empty
Just a few (more) thoughts.....

PS: I've been having some boot problems with this machine so I'll try deleting
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and see if it's the same as the above
when it re-boots and whether there is an "up" order issue.
