Good question(s); not looked at this in more detail. > What version of systemd are you using? In the guest, systemd 215; which corresponds to whats in Jessie up to 8.11. In the host, multiple versions; whatever GCE gives you in a Debian Jessie instance, and whatever's main/upstream; currently 239. Doesn't seem to make any difference. Tried installing the Jessie systemd backport for other reasons, but it wouldn't fly for dependency breakage (on ifup/down, I think).
