I don't have your persistent rules file handy. I have not seen the
contents change *unless* there is some hardware change - removal does
not delete it's respective entry and addition creates an new entry
with the eth number bumped up.
followed by "apt-get upgrade" followed by "reboot", however this occured
just once. On subsequent reboots the ethX does not get bumped up by one.
cat /etc/debian_version
What Linux distro and version number?
wheezy/sid
This has happened around 3 time in approximately 50 servers so far. If theThis worked on an instance, thanks. However how do I make sure that theOS
does not rename the interface automatically and cause this confusion ?
See above - entries in the persistent rules file should not change
mapping of eth name to mac address. You can make a backup copy of the
persistent rules file for reference.
same continues I am planning to turn on the file immutable with chattr to
prevent it from getting changed, do you think that might help ?
