<pre>Similar problem here (Fedora 18, systemd-195-2.fc18.x86_64). I have an old
machine with two network adapters and a 70-persistent-net.rules as follows:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX",
NAME="eth0"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY",
NAME="eth1"
These rules do not work anymore. The rename, when it is needed, fails.
systemd-udevd[282]: error changing net interface name eth0 to eth1: File exists
systemd-udevd[284]: error changing net interface name eth1 to eth0: File exists
Lennart commented on fedora-devel that we should use biosdevname instead. I
would be happy using it, but unfortunately this BIOS does not support SMBIOS
2.6, so I need the rules working.
journalctl output attached.</pre>
