systemd-machine-id-setup is run before anything (including /var) is mounted. How possible to initialize it from /var which is not available? If it is ensured that D-Bus is started only after /var/lib/dbus is available, there is no need to move machine-id in /etc in the first place. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
