Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xen-tools
Gutsy's persistent network interface naming udev rules are causing Xen instances to have a new network interface name each time a DomU is booted. This is because Xen is dynamically generating a MAC for the DomU, and the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file stores the persistent name based on the MAC address. Rules like the following resolve the issue: SUBSYSTEM=="net", SUBSYSTEMS=="xen", DRIVERS=="vif", ATTRS{nodename}=="device/vif/0", NAME="eth0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", SUBSYSTEMS=="xen", DRIVERS=="vif", ATTRS{nodename}=="device/vif/1", NAME="eth1" etc.... I have been adding them to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules manually, but they should probably be handled elsewhere. ** Affects: xen-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- xen-tools needs to add udev file to handle xen network interfaces under gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
