Well, I think here's a common misconception about what people understand, and what you would like them to understand. After reading all this I asked myself: What's the point of stable interface names anyways if it's going to change upon device add/remove? And I think that's actually the point: Name stability is not for device add/remove (in an ideal world, it would be). Your intention is to have stable names across reboots and remove races from device detection. I think this should be pointed out better. In the common case, with usual firmwares out there, names change in unpredictable ways if you swap hardware. This, of course, totally reverses what the man page says about "even when hardware is added/removed"... -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
