I know it's too old, but today i have big problem without persistent net rules. (sorry for my English)
I have VMWare 5.5.0 host and Ubuntu 12.04 guest with many virtual NICs (with MACs 00:0c:29*) Today I updated kernel from 3.13.0-32 to 3.13.0-45 Rebooted VM Lost connection to my VM over one of the NIC (which is connected to internet). I connected to VMWare host (by VMware vSphere Client) and to Ubuntu guest (over LAN virtual NIC who worked) And I saw, that NICs in Ubuntu guest have correct order and matches IP- ETHnumber like before kernel update and reboot, but IP-ETH does not match MAC-VLAN bindings in VMWare, except eth0 (LAN NIC). I don't understend how it happened, as I remember, I updated kernel before many times (to 3.13.0-32) without problems. So today I am commenting line after "ignore VMWare virtual interfaces" to make IP-ETH-MAC match persistent. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341006 Title: ease cloning of virtual images by disabling mac address rules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/341006/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
