All, |

as you probably know by now, udev-197 has hit the tree. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
This new version implements a new feature called predictable network |
| 6 |
interface names [1], which I have currently turned off for live systems, because it |
| 7 |
will require migration on the part of the user. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
When you upgrade to this new version of udev, you will find a file |
| 10 |
/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules on your system. It currently |
| 11 |
has comments explaining what is happening. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
As long as this file is in place, this feature is not activated. That is |
| 14 |
why there is not a news item. If you do nothing, nothing changes. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
What I would like to do is find some people who are willing to migrate |
| 17 |
and report any issues they find. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I would like this to be the default for everyone at some point, so I |
| 20 |
want to document the migration process and find out if there are any |
| 21 |
bugs in tools because they expect the eth* names. |
| 22 |
|

Thoughts? |
