Doc Text: |
When the biosdevname sets a name for a PCI device, it uses a "#" character to specify the device interface. Subsequently, when network services were restarted, the network init script returned an error message, such as "ifcfg-ifcfg-pci3#1: No such file or directory" even though the interface itself was properly found. With this update, the network init script parses the "#" character correctly and no error messages are given in the described scenario.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. I changed '#' to 'p' in upstream biosdevname. This was the largest complaint about fear of breakage. Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
