Hello Team, While working with mount.c , I observed that environment variables(say for instance SYSTEMD_DEFAULT_MOUNT_RATE_LIMIT_BURST) defined through the usual systemd mechanisms (Environment=, EnvironmentFile=, drop-ins, etc.) are not accessible at this early stage of execution. The only working approach I’ve found so far is to pass them via kernel boot arguments, which can then be picked up reliably.
I wanted to check whether this is indeed the expected limitation, or if there are alternative mechanisms within systemd to enable environment variables during such an early phase without relying on kernel boot arguments. Could you please advise if we are on the right track, or suggest other approaches that might be viable? Thank you for your guidance. Best regards, Suresh H A
