[server] Trying out 16.0.4.1 LTS server installation

Loading up 16.04.1 on a headless test server to try out before using it for anything critical:

Code:

0000:05:00.0 enp5s0: renamed from eth0

Really? Is there really any technical advantage in renaming an interface?

The second interface on this box gets renamed to enp6s0.

Placing this in /etc/network/interfaces should enable the second interface on the specified static address.

Code:

# The backup network interface
auto enp6s0
iface enp6s0 inet static
address 192.168.25.6
network 192.168.25.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.25.255

It does not.

mdadm bootdegraded is borked - I see that someone posted a fix for this that involves replacing stuff that was left out from upstream.

Anyway to overcome the network feature?

Let's block ads! (Why?)
