Why does removing the name of a device stop udev from matching?
This works because, once UDEV has renamed the device to “rename*”, this part will stop the rule matching. So, removing it allows the correct name to be assigned to the correct device regardless of what UDEV has called it in the meantime. Show activity on this post.
Does udev rebuild on reboot?
James you are correct that it will rebuild on reboot if you remove the 70-persistent-net. rules file. It seems that this file is generated by the /etc/rc. sysinit file (or before it) because if you watch a RH system boot it will show that udev is running as one of the first processes during boot.
