Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Has this been retested with RHEL-6.1? Thanks & regards, Phil I was not able to reproduce this n RHEL-6.1. I'm fine with closing out this issue. Thanks Jack! Closing this then as working in the current release. Regards, Phil |
DDESCRIPTION: ------------ During the ixgbe reload stress test, a new duplicated entry is added to the 70-persistent-net.rules file located (/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules). The newly added interface (eth4) has the same MAC address as a currently existing interface (eth3). Syslog reports that udev renamed eth3 to eth4: Apr 3 03:29:14 linstd49 kernel: udev: renamed network interface eth3 to eth4 udevd-work[13866]: error changing netif name 'eth3' to 'eth4': No such device These events are repeated in syslog through the stress test. # PCI device 0x8086:0x1096 (e1000e) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:30:48:7f:26:ce", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" # PCI device 0x8086:0x10fb (ixgbe) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:21:55:23:b1", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3" # PCI device 0x8086:0x10fb (ixgbe) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:21:55:23:b0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2" # PCI device 0x8086:0x1096 (e1000e) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:30:48:7f:26:cf", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" # PCI device 0x8086:0x10fb () SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:21:55:23:b1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth4" There is no 5th interface (eth4) on the system, it was added erroneously during heavy ixgbe stress. CONFIGURATION: ------------ Test Configuration: Supermicro (System ID 14499),1 quad-core CPU, 8 GB RAM, dual-port Niantic, RHEL6.0-GA-x86_64 + errata updates STEPS TO REPRODUCE: ------------------- 1.) while true ; do rmmod ixgbe ; modprobe ixgbe ; done RESULTS: --------- Duplicate MAC address is used for a new eth4 entry in the 70-persistent-net.rules file. No eth4 exists on the system. The entry has the same mac as an already existing entry, eth3. EXPECTED RESULTS: ---------------- No new udev rules should be created or renamed for already existent ethernet interface/MAC address pairs in the 70-persistent-net.rules file.This appears to be Udev related.
