But with the next udev update that file would be back and if I missed that, the rule files could get created by the next "udevadm trigger" call (from whereever). So this is a work-around, but not reliable, clean solution, I guess. I also though that removing the 70-persistent-* rules on every boot before boot.udev runs would help, but I've least one hosts that still creates renamed network devices other than eth0 and eth1 (see my other email on the list), so this doesn't help either. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
