[Bug 1652019] [NEW] udev does not read LINK files dynamically

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hello all,

To comply to SystemD's way of thinking, NIC names can be changed
assuming my MAC addresses.

I have then changed /etc/systemd/10-net.link assuming the nomenclature
in https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.link.html.

Expected behavior: When restart, changes can be taken into account and
NIC names changed, just like udev udev raw rules in /etc/udev/rules.d.

Got: NIC names not changed. However: whane re-updating initramfs ( #
update-initramfs -u ), it works.

Question: why is udev not reading SystemD link files directly in the
root FS, but is able to read udev rules.d files ?

Distro : Ubuntu 16.04.4

Thanks,
