This has recently been discussed in #udev, and we found that it does not hurt that much to blacklist them. The kernel reliably sorts eth* enumeration by bus number, so as long as you only have cards from one vendor (or more precisely, drivers), the enumeration will be stable. Having cards from different vendors is very unlikely in VMs.
Marco submitted the blacklisting for kvm: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=af29bf0966994bc233282148f519e12ea29e1c5a ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Martin Pitt (pitti) -- ease cloning of virtual images by disabling mac address rules https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
