I recently updated my desktop to f23, and it went smoothly, for the most part. However, it broke my mediatomb server because the NIC changed from em1 to eno1.
Is this something that was expected? It certainly surprised me.
It happened to a bunch of servers when I updated them from F22 to F23. Their NICs changed from p6p1 -> enp3s0. It was annoying because I had to boot each one with a display and keyboard and change the network configuration by hand.
"predictable, stable network interface names" https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfac...
that is simple to solve forever
- add "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" to your kernel params
- get rid of NetworkManager
- rename your ethernet-devices in the ifcfg-files based on the MAC
- survives yum-upgardes from Fedora 9 to Fedora 23
- nobody needs NM and that other stuff on static configured servers
- frankly even with a DHCP wan-interface it works perfectly
I agree, except it's not "simple" :-)
Maybe giving permanent names to network interfaces (of our own choice or from a standard set) is something we should be able to choose at installation time?
