Perhaps calling the new interface naming scheme "predictable" is somewhat overselling it, but "persistent" (a better choice IMHO) was already in use, both in the way quoted above, and as one of the choices for MAC address generation.
The changed names are neither predictable nor persistent, so this naming scheme failed, regardless how you call it. I would be glad if I could get some *expected* interface names, at least. The question remains: How comes? Looking at the kernel logging output the interface names were generated as good ol' "eth0", "eth1" and so on. They were renamed into a "persistent" string later by some code on the initrd, as it seems. AFAICT this code is part of systemd/udev. Is this a bug or did this happen on purpose? Regards Harri
