After digging further, I found the issue : - generators was not at fault - unlike what I was thinking, /run/systemd/generator doesn't take precedence over /lib, so it couldn't work - but /run/systemd/system is supposed to take precedence over everything (/lib and /etc). I've adapted my generator to only create the file in /run/systemd/system if there was none in /etc/systemd/system. It didn't work as expected due to a bug in path-lookup.c:lookup_paths_init which remove from the lookup path lists empty directories : therefore /run/systemd/system was evicted from the directory list to monitor and wasn't used at all. This was added by commit a9dd208208e672a4fe5a3c2405946c1506e034db and it should be reverted. I'm also attaching a patch for an error I found while reading lookup_paths_init code. -- Frederic Crozat <fcro...@suse.com> SUSE
