Description Larry Finger 2007-08-08 15:35:45 UTC
Using the rule

'SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:1a:73:04:1d:e5", IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k eth1"'

from /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules, /lib/udev/rename_netiface tries to rename 'eth1' to 'eth1', which leads to a kernel message 'net eth1: device_rename: sysfs_create_symlink failed (-17)'. The message is advisory and does not hurt anything, but should probably be eliminated.

The SUSE network renaming solution is replaced by the upstream code for openSUSE 10.3. But maybe it should be fixed for SLE. Assigning to Christian.
Comment 2 Christian Zoz 2007-08-31 09:54:30 UTC
No, nothing to fix for SLE or 10.2

And for 10.3 this can be considered fixed.
