Rob Owens <rowens@ptd.net> (03/11/2009): > Thanks, that worked. It seems a little heavy-handed, though. Can > you think of any side-effects this might have? <full-disclosure> I'm using this on something totally unrelated, which is starting all the nodes of a cluster through a shared NFS root. With the net-generator rules in place, that messes up interfaces (possibly, each node should be using eth0), with the default eth0 to eth(N-1), numbering, which breaks NFS clients badly. In the above-mentioned conditions, I've never suffered from any drawbacks, and that trick works very fine. I don't have much experience in other setups, though. Note that a consequence of using such a trick is that you'll have to keep an eye on udev in further releases. In my case, I chose to delete the file through find -name matching rather than through rm -rf'ing, given that I want to make sure a file got removed. Further udev versions already have seen files be moved elsewhere, possibly several times. </full-disclosure> Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
