I am wondering if there is a way to preserve the domU vif name in dom0 after reboot. I can specify the vif name when creating the domain which is helpful for ebtables rules, but if the VM is rebooted it will get a new one. Alternatively, it looks like I can alter the vif-bridge script to grep the vif being used each time but it would be cleaner (for a number of reasons) to just have the vif name preserved if that is possible?

I''d prefer that if we specify something at create time it would be held true across the entire lifecycle including reboots.

I was being tricked by a faulty log statement. Thanks, Tim _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
