70-persistent-net.rules not is generated

[doknet]

I have a problem with creating full kvm machines
with debian.
The creation process works so good, but not create
file 70-persistent-net.rules not is generated

I create by hand and nothing is written on reboot in 70-persistent-net.rules .

When duplicate the machine even though I delete and re create ethernet device by web
Lan continues to give this board the same HWaddr.
It also checks the file,501.conf And this really changed vlan0

cat /etc/qemu-server/501.conf
vlan0: rtl8139=2E:62:85:A0:2D:AB

Any idea why is not generated and / or complete the file 70-persistent-net.rules. And because even though I delete and recreation board, when I run ifconfig the above shows old HWaddr . And nothing in 70-persistent-net.rules create by hand.-

vm1:~# pveversion -v

Any idea.

Sorry my inglis.

Thanks.

Any idea why is not generated and / or complete the file 70-persistent-net.rules.

I encountered the same problem on a couple guests.

I didn't bookmark the link so I can't provide the reference anymore, but it's an obscure feature and is by design.
The feature causes the file 75-persistent-net-generator.rules to blacklist MAC addresses of virtual devices, and thus they are not added to 70-persistent-net.rules.

75-persistent-net-generator.rules does include a whitelist function, but I never figured out how to edit it.
So instead, I write 70-persistent-net.rules by hand using PVE's as a template, then disable the generator so there's no chance of it being overwritten.

This command works in Squeeze to disable the generator:

mv /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules.disabled

Thank you very much for answering.

I hand create the empty file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules . Debian Lenny

Rename the file 75-persistent-net-generator.rules

mv /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules.disabled


But when you restart the VM (full kvm) , the file is empty 70-persistent-net.rules

At the moment did the machine with Ubuntu 10.4 and work.

I appreciate your comment again.

The Lennys I have don't behave that way.
Running udev 0.125-7+lenny3 with either kernel 2.6.32-4 or 2.6.35-1.

All I can think of is that these Lennys are both PVE, although I don't think that should make a difference.

My non-PVE Debians are Squeeze which run udev 163-2, and they don't exhibit that behavior either.

Would you be willing to mix repos on that machine & try the newer udev from Squeeze?
If you do, keep in mind that udev 163-2 moves the generator to /lib/udev/rules.d when you disable it.

Even if you don't, it might help to purge the current version & install fresh config files, providing you don't already have customization to be concerned with.
Other than that, I don't know.

Thank you for your response.
Cambiare the kernerl and see what it is.
If I try to change only udev, I run out of kernel. I'm making an error.
Thank
