We have upgarded 8 identical servers, upgrading to identical bios version;
this is the only one that have this trouble.

Anyway, i've found some more info:

 root at svpve2:~# ip link show | egrep '[0-9]+: '
 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

 13: vmbr1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
 [...] 

interface 'ens1f1' does not desappear, simply get not 'renamed' on boot, and
remain 'eth1'.

I've tried a manual:
	ip link set eth1 master bond1

and interface start working as expected.

If logs can be useful, if it is better to fire up a bug, say me.


Just i'm here, i've found also:

 root at svpve2:~# ip addr show ens1f0
 2: ens1f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP group default qlen 1000
     link/ether f4:ee:08:24:3a:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr 5c:6f:69:0f:99:78
     altname enp1s0f0

and 'enp1s0f0' in 'altname' was the old interface name, that was in
/etc/network/interfaces; but at boot bond does not bind it, i was forced to
use the 'new' name.

'altname' work only insome aspect? Or simply, does not work for bonds?


Thanks.
