Hi
I recently managed to brick a machine that I wanted to deploy.
Issue was that I needed a vlan on an Interface that has a looong name (thanks, IBM):
enP19p96s0f0
Adding a normal vlan, that resulted in:
enP19p96s0f0.1450
However, interface names CAN only have 15 bytes max (and SHOULD only have 14 under DHCP), but this one is too long.
It would be nice if MAAS would refuse or at least warn that the name is too long, maybe even suggesting renaming the interfaces (it does match on MACs anyway in netplan, IIRC).
Does this sound sensible?
