Issue #15798 has been updated by Max Bowsher.
**Argh, my issue appears to have been mangled by unwanted markup
interpretation. Here is a corrected version:
**
Facter currently uses ifconfig on Linux, and as a result, fails to function
properly if interface names have more than 9 characters, as ifconfig truncates
them:
# facter >/dev/null
Device "p2p.gdc-f" does not exist.
p2p.gdc-f: error fetching interface information: Device not found
(errors repeated numerous times)
Possible options to fix:
- Migrate completely to using /sbin/ip if it is available.
- Continue to use ifconfig, but get the list of interface names by reading
/proc/net/dev
