Google PCI (PCI is the term for the credit card environment rules) and NSC and it comes back as "network security control". So firewall rules/ACL's and possibly network inspection devices and anything else that is a network control. On Sun, Jan 28, 2024 at 5:04 AM ToddAndMargo via users wrote: >

The current naming scheme works for the case of motherboard replacements were the names and pci buses stay the same but the mac addresses change. I was previously using a static udev rule using bus-ids to force the eth* devices to be consistent across motherboard replacements and chassis swaps.

Bob, When I was under a FAP, I used to do a trick. I would mount /var/cache/dnf via nfs from my main machine on the others I was updating and then change /etc/yum.conf (keepcache to 1) and that way generally the first node would fill the cache, and then the 2nd node would reuse the data downloaded

I don't believe there really is an easier way. You can download a kernel.org kernel or the fedora kernel source and built it to be 64-bit and boot that on a 32-bit userspace and that will get you around some kernel memory/resource limits, I did that previously on one of my machines for 6-12 months
