Is there any supported way of telling udev never to create, append or alter my /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ? It appears that by default a script called /lib/udev/write_net_rules will always do so, although I can't find this documented anywhere other than inside the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. The reason I want to prevent this is that I have one special requirement: that any net interface that is named eth0 by the kernel must never be renamed. (This is for ensuring that running root over nfs works without hiccup). I can specify this restriction in my /etc/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules by SUBSYSTEM=="net", .... , KERNEL!="eth0", NAME="eth[n]" which works -- but then along comes /lib/udev/write_net_rules and creates or appends /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules with conflicting specifications. So I want to stop it from doing that. The only way I have found is to edit this script and change the string "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rule" to "/tmp/70-persistent-net.rules" but I suppose that change gets wiped out whenever I upgrade the software. Is there any properly supported way of specifying this?
