Interesting. But may I ask a full identification (manufacturer, model at least) of an system that showed the problem of having the interfaces have not a stable name between reboots? I am _really_ curious to know of one of them. The ONLY time I have seen this was with a template VM. Each new vm started from the base image had a different "hardware identification" (MAC? - it was some years ago, can't remember the full details). that changed eth0 to eth1, eth2... A quick fix to the udev scripts removed the problem. > > This could create "a certain amount of work" to people used to > > automate things by means of shell scripts... > > After reading "I don't like this, how do I disable this?" very little > work appears to be involved. Hey, /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules seems the udev file I worked on. This does not change the amount of work in Miles forecasts, just changes it. -- ing.
