<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Christiaan Welvaart at 16/08/12 20:30 did gyre and
gimble:
&gt;<i> hi,
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> When I finally rebooted a cauldron system that acts as a router, it
</I>&gt;<i> turned out the network interfaces eth0 and eth1 were switched, exposing
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;internal&quot; services to the outside world and leaving me without internet
</I>&gt;<i> access. Syslog contains:
</I>&gt;<i> Aug 15 22:48:29 zem systemd-udevd[404]: error changing net interface
</I>&gt;<i> name eth0 to eth1: File exists
</I>&gt;<i> Aug 15 22:48:29 zem systemd-udevd[404]: error changing net interface
</I>&gt;<i> name eth1 to eth0: File exists
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Of course this has worked for years, so it breaking is not something
</I>&gt;<i> anyone would expect. It also seems to be unneeded. After some looking
</I>&gt;<i> around I could (temporarily) fix it quite easily by adding:
</I>&gt;<i>         ifrename -i eth0 -n rename0
</I>&gt;<i>         ifrename -i eth1 -n rename1
</I>&gt;<i>         ifrename -i rename0
</I>&gt;<i>         ifrename -i rename1
</I>&gt;<i> to /etc/init.d/network and describing the mapping in /etc/iftab . So now
</I>&gt;<i> I have two questions:
</I>&gt;<i> - Has anyone else seen this?
</I>&gt;<i> - What change is causing this: kernel, udev/systemd, or something else?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> The network devices use the same driver so there is no other way to
</I>&gt;<i> distinguish them than by MAC address or PCI ID.
</I>
Yeah this is no longer supported upstream as it was apparently very
hacky. Last time I asked Kay about it, there was something else to
replace it but I've not followed up what that is recently. I'll ask him
again next time we're chatting.

Cheers

Col
