How to remove a persistent udev rule

[stra4d]

Hi

I have one node that uses the old network device naming convention eth*. It appears that along the way through updates it has kept the old naming convention by having the file /et/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Can I just delete this and fix the network setup to then use the new enp*s* naming convention?

Thanks,
Scott

hi,

Yes, you can by editing /etc/default/grub file and delete net.ifnames=0 from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= if you need more information about network naming [1] [2].

That is the strange thing, that is all over the internet as how to continue to use eth0 BUT that was NOT actually there in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX anywhere I could find on the system.

This must have gotten created somewhere along the line of upgrades. This server is an older HP DL360 G7 so has had a few PROXMOX upgrades.

It is now working just by deleting this rule (there was no rule generator file in the /lib/udev/rules.d dir either that created/generated this file. Very strange.
