They could be *any* of eth0, eth1, eth2 and ens2. Further inspection shows error messages like "systemd-udevd: eth1: Failed to rename network interface 3 from 'eth1' to 'ens2': File exists" The installation is plain vanilla; in fact, the system had not been used at all yet. Neither of the files '/lib/udev/rules.d/75 -persistent-net-generator.rules', '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent- net.rules' or '/lib/udev/rules.d/71-biosdevname.rules' exist. On U18.04, 'ls /sys/class/net' yielded "enp5s0 enp14s0 enp9s0 lo". After the upgrade, it currently shows "ens2 eth0 eth1 lo". For each of these entries, 'udevadm test-builtin net_id $nic 2>/dev/null' gives the following: /sys/class/net/ens2 ID_NET_NAMING_SCHEME=v245 ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enx002481d13e60 ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE=Hewlett Packard ID_NET_NAME_PATH=enp14s0 ID_NET_NAME_SLOT=ens2 /sys/class/net/eth0 ID_NET_NAMING_SCHEME=v245 ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enx001018b197dc ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE=Broadcom ID_NET_NAME_PATH=enp5s0 ID_NET_NAME_SLOT=ens2 /sys/class/net/eth1 ID_NET_NAMING_SCHEME=v245 ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enx00101897069a ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE=Broadcom ID_NET_NAME_PATH=enp9s0 ID_NET_NAME_SLOT=ens2 This seems to be a case where the naming scheme v245 should be replaced by v247, according to https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.net-naming-scheme.html The situation does not change with passing "net.naming-scheme=latest" to the kernel. The installed version of udev is 245.4-4ubuntu3.4. Since this faulty behavior happened completely out of the blue on a practically pristine LTS installation, I hope to have some kind of solution similar to a backport. Thanks for comments!
