-- Subject: Unit fail2ban.service has failed
I used to use fail2ban service to avoid SSH DDos hack in my Arch system.
However, I found faiil2ban service failed to be started recently after I perform a system upgrade (pacman -Syu).
I keep getting failure when try to start fail2ban service by "systemctl start fail2ban.service".
Checked the status, I got below informatoin:
[root@archx system]# systemctl status fail2ban.service

From the latest /var/log/error.log.1 I see below information:

I have no idea about systemd-udevd so I googled about it and found "Predictable Network Interface Names".

Is the failure related to it or it's totally different?
And any idea or guideline that could help me troubleshoot and resolve it?
Your help is appreciated! Thanks!
