Hi, currently we only allow interfaces name with (ethX, or enXXXX).
Some users currently rename interfaces to custom names sometime because the predictable name scheme is buggy with too long name (>16 characters names), and users have interfaces like "renameX". sometime because it's easier to remember the usage of the interface (lan0, wan0, ceph0, san0,...) This patch read physical interfaces from pci sysfs. Currently it's only for Inotify, but this should also be implemented later in tap_plug and other functions with regex on ethX, enXXXX. also, I would like to implement after that, nic renaming management from api && gui. I'm seeing a lot of users still doing it with /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, and it's not supported anymore by debian.(systemd link should be used) https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkInterfaceNames#CUSTOM_SCHEMES_USING_.LINK_FILES Alexandre Derumier (1): INotify : network_interfaces: detect physical nic name from sysfs src/PVE/INotify.pm | 22 ++++++++++++++-------- src/PVE/ProcFSTools.pm | 12 ++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1 _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
