[Bug 1483457] Re: non-virtio devices get named with systemd predictable network interface names
Martin, can you comment on this in particular? net.ifnames should be set to 0 by default IIUC[1]. It appears that it's not set in the wily kernel used in this image. I don't know where we configure/control the default value. Is it true that net.ifnames is now set to 1 by default in wily? And where is that value set? in systemd/udev binary? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1483457 Title: non-virtio devices get named with systemd predictable network interface names To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1483457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1483457] Re: non-virtio devices get named with systemd predictable network interface names
Wrt. correctly handling multiple interfaces we should IMHO keep the default net.ifnames. After all, providing stable names for cloud instances and virtual machines with multiple interfaces was one of the reasons why we switched to net.ifnames in the first place -- before, the old udev rules had blacklists for all QEMU/HyperV/VMWare/EC-2 etc. interfaces, which meant that while being able to rely on eth0 was convenient while you had only one interface, this would break down once you add more than one. So ideally cloud-init (I assume that's what writes interfaces.d/eth0.cfg) would stop hardcoding eth0 and instead write a configuration for the first (or all, if that's desired) /sys/class/net/en* or /sys/class/eth* that it finds. For multiple interfaces that's semantically equivalent to what we did before (whatever became eth0 got chosen as the outwards interface we do DHCP on). For a workaround until this, net.ifnames=0 or overriding 99-default.link is okay as well. But I don't think that's a good long-term strategy.

Lets get some input from pitti and foundations on how we really shoudl fix this.

[Bug 1483457] Re: non-virtio devices get named with systemd predictable network interface names
net.ifnames should be set to 0 by default IIUC[1]. It appears that it's not set in the wily kernel used in this image. I don't know where we configure/control the default value. We don't see this issue with virtio-net nics because systemd considers virtio numbers to be unstable[2] and doesn't have a rule to name virtio devices (aka the kernel name get's passed through always). For e1000, this appears in the systemd database and thus gets renamed via the default netrules based on slot location (en, slot 3) - ens3. If we append 'net.ifnames=0' to the cloud image as of today and use an e1000 nic, this skips persistent naming and the cloud image boots as expected. The trouble occurs when we don't have a nic named eth0 due to persistent naming rules triggering and the cloud-image has eth0 embedded into it's filesystem: % cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0.cfg # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp 1. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762101#105 2. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/020908.html ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #762101 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762101 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1483457 Title: non-virtio devices get named with systemd predictable network interface names To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1483457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1483457] Re: non-virtio devices get named with systemd predictable network interface names
It looks like this is only an issue when a non-virtual nic is presented, i.e. e1000 vs virtio/hyper-v/xenbus/etc. My gut tells me tat 'net.ifnames=0' is the obvious choice as it would maintain ethX regardless of the virtual hardware. But with out some guidance from the foundations team, I am little nervous to make this sort of change (i.e the law of intended consequences) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1483457 Title: non-virtio devices get named with systemd predictable network interface names To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1483457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
