I have read the news item and still have questions. The news item |
2 |
covers several points. |
3 |
|
4 |
1. remove udev-postmount: |
5 |
I did this but worry that I now cannot reboot until I upgrade |
6 |
udev. Is that correct? |
7 |
|
8 |
2. Add CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y. Easy. Kernel rebuilt and installed |
9 |
in /boot (but have not rebooted). |
10 |
|
11 |
3. Predictable network interface names. |
12 |
I have the problematic udev rule. |
13 |
Specifically 70-persistent-net.rules has (on one line) |
14 |
|
15 |
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", |
16 |
ATTR{address}=="00:1e:c9:48:f9:a0", ATTR{type}=="1", |
17 |
KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" |
18 |
|
19 |
I read the bug report, but it is not as clear as I would like. |
20 |
Is it true that I can change my file to simply |
21 |
|
22 |
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", |
23 |
ATTR{address}=="00:1e:c9:48:f9:a0", ATTR{type}=="1", |
24 |
KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="net0" |
25 |
|
26 |
That is just change the NAME from eth0 to net0 ? |
27 |
|
28 |
4. No support for kernels older than 2.6.39. No problem. |
29 |
|
30 |
5. Separate /usr not affected. Good. |
31 |
|
32 |
The news item does not mention the problem of moving files |
33 |
from /usr/lib/udev/rules.d to /lib/udev/rules.d. Am I correct in |
34 |
believing that we still need one of the equivalents of |
35 |
equery belongs -n /usr/lib/udev | xargs emerge -pv |
36 |
|
37 |
I used that successfully when one of my testing systems went to |
38 |
udev-197. I would think it is needed (before reboot) on my stable |
39 |
systems as well so I am surprised it is not in the news item. |
