persistent network interface name in pve (or other distro)
Problem
After install an extra nvme ssd, lost connection to the pve box. (the netwok led do not blink).
ip link command will display the network link names similar to below:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp8s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master vmbr0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether a8:a1:59:07:39:22 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The name is inconsistent with the iface name in/etc/network/interfaces.
solution
create as system.link file /etc/systemd/network/70-enp9s0.link with content:
[Match]
MACAddress=a8:a1:59:07:39:22
[Link]
Name=enp9s0
so every reboot end up with the network name enp9s0 .
