After lxd2Incus migration of VM with agent.nic_config: true nics are missingn in the nics/ subdir of config fs

Incus
1

We are migrating from lxd to incus. After migration of some CentOS based images, Incus no longer setup the network as we need.
We define networks with specific names that is configured from the network setup of the instance. This depends on the names being the same no matter how many nics we happen to define on our hosts. So we enabled agnet.nic_config: true on our virtual machines. With Incus this does not work anymore. The NIC name change from enp5s0 to our defined name (in this case ethext) never happens… Looking at the content of the config filesystem (/run/lxd-agent and /run/incus-agent) for the instance I can see that on LXD there are one file for each defined network under the nics/ subdir. But on Incus the nics/ directory is empty.

Is this intended? Or did something go wrong during the migration? Everything else seems OK.

Sounds like a bug in the new agent driver logic, I’m looking at that one now.

Thanks for the quick response.

I updated the two files in your patch on my VM and re-ran the install.sh and restarted the VM. But it behaves the same as before. the nics/ subdir is still empty and there is no re-naming of nics during boot. Perhaps there is something more that I’m missing with my version of Incus? (0.5.1-202401301901-ubuntu22.04) that is needed for the above fix to work? I’ll switch to daily repos and try again.

Tested with daily. Same result. After downgrade to daily and restart of VM it looks like this:

I’ll wait for todays build and try again when it’s ready. (Assuming your patch will be shipped with it…)

Try again now, the daily should have built about 4 hours ago.

Upgraded to 0~202402131046-ubuntu22.04. Restarted our VM. Same issue, but now the nics/ dir is populated, but nics are still not renamed.

I tested with a complete clean new vm and have the same issue… Nics are not renamed as configured via agent.nic_config: true config option:

Not sure it this is expected, but I see no output from any of the logger calls in the reconfigureNetworkInterfaces() function. Reading the code, I can only assume that if for some reason does not find the nics/ dir. (Guessing… I don’t know go, and the deviceConfig definition is incomprehensible to me)

I need to spend some time to look into this. I had it working here but I’ll try again with the current daily build.

I reproduced the issue, though it’s a bit odd. If I restart incus-agent after startup, then the NIC gets renamed correctly.

That suggests that the agent may have initially run prior to the NIC showing up on the system.
I’ll add some debugging to try and figure out why it couldn’t do the renaming at boot time.

Yep, debugging shows that at the time incus-agent first runs, the only network interface available is lo…

Just tested and it now works again with latest nighlty…
