So the blurb that ifupdown puts in /etc/network/interfaces when it doesn't exist is: """ # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) # Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d: source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d" """
The loopback interface entry is no longer required as it's assumed to always be present by ifupdown. There isn't any naming convention for files under /etc/network/interfaces.d/. So long as they match "^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$", "eth0" would seem reasonable to me. Should you have to do any kind of migration, I'd suggest doing: - Move /etc/network/interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces.d/original - Rewrite /etc/network/interfaces with the content I posted above - Add any new /etc/network/interfaces.d/ entry that you may want -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262951 Title: cloud-images /etc/network/interfaces shoud source-directory interfaces.d To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1262951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
