I had an existing /etc/iptables/rules.v4 file on my system.
In the next step I installed "iptables-persistent" and said yes to both
questions about saving current existing rules.
if you ask the package to save the rules it will save them, it is the
expected behaviour
Then the file and my rules in it where gone.
That shouldn't happen.
If you want your previous saved rules to be kept, just don't save the
current ruleset
When you want to touch that file that add content to it but not overwrite it.
No, I don't want to add content; I want to "atomically" save the current
ruleset, if content is added on top of the previously saved ruleset I
don't know what the result can be.
iptables rules are order dependent so just appending them will not work
as desired most of the time.
