That always seemed dumb to me. It can tell (or make a good guess) if the interface is hot pluggable, or something you had to take the machine apart to change. In the case of old entries that weren't on hot pluggable interfaces, it should remove those before assigning names to new ones, then swapping out a NIC would still assign eth0 to the new NIC, but plugging in a new USB Wi-Fi dongle would continue to assign wlan0 then wlan1, etc. It should do the same thing for persistent disks. If I replace an internal DVDROM, it should be smart enough to call the replacement sr0 instead of sr1. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
