So, have you ever had to deal with a CentOS box and multiple NICs. Especially one where you've cloned it or moved a disk to a new chassis? Apparently there is just not a good way to identify interfaces.
Yep, do it all the time - first two thing I do are: rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules rm -r /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* and then reboot.
So, now you've got 6 NICs connected to 6 different switches. Which name is which? This is a really fun exercise when the box is remote and you are trying to tell someone used to configuring windows systems how to get it to a point where you can ssh in.
I guess I am confused, you haven't ever worked with the hardware you are installing the cloned drive in? If that is true then I guess you have a problem.
