I was in error about this: > 3. Now it tries to generate a machine ID and tries to write it into > /run/machine-id. Again this fails, because /run is still on the same > partition as /, and it is still not writable. FAIL !
When there is no writable or readable /etc/machine-id, then it won't even try to generate one, as this code here bails out with a "return -errno;": fd = open("/etc/machine-id", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOCTTY, 0444); if (fd >= 0) writable = true; else { fd = open("/etc/machine-id", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOCTTY); if (fd < 0) { log_error("Cannot open /etc/machine-id: %m"); return -errno; } writable = false; } _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
