udev is renaming my ethernet devices

一台 HP 的 centos 6 机器，原来有 onboard 的 Broadcom 网卡在 eth2/eth3，另外还有一张另外加上的 intel 82576 网卡 eth0/eth1。最近更换了那张 intel 卡，另外还再加多了一张同样的 intel 网卡。但是发现 dmesg 老是出现 udev: renamed network interface ethx to renamey 的字眼。通过 /etc/modprobe.d/igb.conf 配置文件也无法指定对应的 intel 卡 到 eth0-eth3 上。

[root@rtploadtest rtp_loadtest]# cat /etc/modprobe.d/igb.conf
# alias eth0 igb
# alias eth1 igb
# alias eth4 igb
# alias eth5 igb
options igb RSS=0,0

[root@rtploadtest rtp_loadtest]# dmesg | grep rename
udev: renamed network interface eth3 to rename5
udev: renamed network interface eth2 to rename4
udev: renamed network interface eth1 to eth5
udev: renamed network interface rename5 to eth1
udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth4
udev: renamed network interface rename4 to eth0
[root@rtploadtest rtp_loadtest]# 

google 一把后才发现和 udev 有关

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules 按照卡的 MAC 地址将它映射到对应的 ethx 上。即使其中的一个卡或者MAC已经不见了，udev 还是会将这个映射保留。编辑这个文件就可以得到你需要的效果。
