 emily | and RFC 42 style integration for that seems like something we'd accept in NixOS | 15:11:43 |
| emily | networkd can rename interfaces | 15:11:56 |
| emily | but maybe I misunderstand | 15:12:21 |
 hexa (clat on linux when) | .links files where interface renaming happens are handled by udev | 15:12:37 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | you would possibly need to retrigger udev to cause the rename to happen | 15:12:50 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | there are more interesting ways to shoot yourself in the foot | 15:13:06 |
 Molly Miller | the last time i looked at this 12-18 months ago, retriggering udev wouldn't rename the interfaces, that codepath was only triggered when they get added to the system for the first time | 15:13:34 |
| Molly Miller | the reasoning behind all of this is that our servers all have 4+ network interface each, so we name interfaces by function, and sometimes the interface assignment does change | 15:14:48 |
 K900 | That sounds like you should just use networkd link names for? | 15:15:41 |
