[bitfolk] Disable predictable network interface names by default?

Hello, The version of udev that will come with the next Debian stable and Ubuntu LTS releases has learned about Xen network interfaces and as a result they will be subjected to "predictable network interface naming": https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfa… That is, you won't have an eth0 any more, it will be en123abc or whatever, based on MAC address. For new installs, either when ordered or when the customer does an install via Xen Shell, we could force this to not happen by using net.ifnames=0 on the kernel command line. The single network interface will then always be eth0. Arguments in favour of doing this: - It makes life simpler for BitFolk's post-installation scripts because they won't have to work out what the network interface will be called. - "predictable network interface names" are arguably pointless in the scenario of a BitFolk VM because the only way to get extra network interfaces is by explicit configuration either within the VM by its admin or outside the VM by BitFolk, which would include what its name is. Arguments against: - It's not the default behaviour of the Linux distribution any more. - If you upgraded a previous release with dist-upgrade / do-release-upgrade it would get these "predictable names", which is maybe just an extension of the above point. Would you have any concerns if you made a new order or did a new install and it came with net.ifnames=0? Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
