       Ah, Debian. Add a disk and you yet again renumber your network interfaces. #sysadmin :flan_molotov: :flan_cleaver: :flan_executioner: :flan_reaper:

       @mwl It's time we recognize that systemd never solved any problem we actually had. It needs to be yanked out by the roots.

       @mwl there are good reliable options that are not Debian or contain systemd where network interfaces do not randomly renane themselves.

       @kbm0 according to debian, this is no longer supported.https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkInterfaceNamesThe Predictable Names scheme is the current thing afaict, which the wiki makes appear tortuous

       @mwl boot with net.ifnames=0 (but bringing back the persistent net generator from wheezy would be the proper fix)

       @mwl I've just tried the wiki recommendation of changing the naming policy in .link files and I'd say you will probably find it more convenient than using udev rules, unless you have very specific requirements.If you just want fixed naming above all else, set the default NamePolicy to "mac" and you will get names which are unique and very stable, but a wee bit verbose.I guess this may be why they opted for the less stable PCI address as the default naming scheme, just for brevity.

       @kbm0 that actually worked, thank you.hideous interface names are better than random ones.
