No, PCI device numbers change all the time, they are not guaranteed to be stable at all. Yes, lots of machines do not have them change, but a non-small number do. Most of the time they change only if you have changed a PCI device (which includes thunderbolt and docking stations, quite common these days), or when you update your BIOS, but my favorite machine would renumber the whole bus every other boot for no good reason at all. So don't think of PCI bus numbers as static, they aren't, sorry. greg k-h _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
