Yes, really. It's really damn presumptuous to assume that whatever few 
dozen servers you manage can and should represent every single other 
scenario, use case, application, and environment all over the rest of 
the world and "that's it." You can yell, scream, insult my intelligence, 
and all the other manner of bullying I've seen come out of the people 
behind this project which, IMHO is the primary contributor to all the 
divisiveness experienced in the open source community over systemd. I 
don't expect you to believe me or listen, or frankly even care about 
other users out there but I do hope you will at least consider that 
there is reality beyond your world. I fully expect some insulting 
arrogant dismissive or insulting blow off so you can have the last word 
or whatever, but I will no longer feed this thread as it is not productive.

I'm afraid you wont buy yourself anything since your only option is to 
start immediately to look into applying real-time kernel patches or find 
another distro since F21 is EOL and the only response you get from 
everybody is "upgrade" or "try with latest release"


F22 is on 4.4x kernels F23/F24 is on 4.5.x ( soon to be on 4.6.x ) and 
rawhide on 4.7.x so you need to apply patches to those release or use 
for example CentOS 7.x which comes with the 3.10 kernel

Sorry, I probably should have been more clear. I disabled the secondary NIC
in the BIOS intentionally prior to OS installation. Then I did the FC21
minimal installation which excludes most of Fedora's network management
stuff. I also disabled NetworkManager and ripped out any other fedora
specific stuff. In looking at dmesg and journalctl I'm seeing where systemd
renames eth0 to it's new name, but leaves eth1 untouched which is the part
that is confusing me.

I could more easily see your point if NIC naming was determined at OS
installation time but my experience has been that systemd does it as part of

I doubt that it's fedora only, it looks deeper than that to me, but I 
will check and if not, perhaps prove the issue out on either another 
distro or a custom build.



Also, please note that the 3.18 kernel is very old and unsupported, you
might want to update to a modern kernel release :)

Yeah, I'm aware of that. Sadly, the application I'm dealing with has strong
dependencies on RTAI and the most recent kernel supported by even the most
recent beta of RTAI is 3.18.22 :( This is particularly challenging since
most of the driver support we need is all in the newer kernels. I've been
looking at some of the more recent RT processing capabilities slowly making
their way into the stock kernel but for now, it's a circumstance I must
contend with!

You might try the real-time kernel patches, they seem to perform just as
well, if not better, than RTAI, and you are not stuck with obsolete and
unsuportable kernel versions.

Thanks, that's the plan but in order to buy myself that time, I'd need

I'm running kernel 3.18.22. I'm seeing some odd behavior from systemd. 
The motherboard is an intel board with dual onboard NIC. I installed 
FC21 initially with secondary ethernet interface disabled in the BIOS. 
Then after install, I enabled it. However, while the first NIC name 
comes up as expected getting renamed from eth0 to eno#. The second NIC 
never gets renamed and instead is brought up as eth1.
