[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#1042842: Acknowledgement (network interface names wrong in domU (>10 interfaces))

[Valentin Kleibel]

Hi,

> the bug has been mentionned on #xen-devel, will keep you posted.

Thanks. I wasn't able to find such a report, could you link the archive 
or post the threads subject so i can find it?

> Meanwhile, you may try to force the domU vif names with a letter

The sorting with letters doesn't work out as renaming the interface is a 
secondary step.

...
[53408.899507] vif vif-5-0 sort-a: renamed from vif5.0
...

Our current workaround is to edit the interface names in the domUs 
config to match the wrong sorting. And be extra careful that the domUs 
MACs match the ones we expect on that network.
