Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH] appliance: Copy /etc/machine-id from host system into the appliance.

Currently when the appliance is booted we see warning messages like these ones: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf:26] Failed to replace specifiers: /run/log/journal/%m [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf:28] Failed to replace specifiers: /run/log/journal/%m [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf:29] Failed to replace specifiers: /run/log/journal/%m They are apparently harmless, but are caused because /etc/machine-id does not exist inside the appliance, and so %m cannot be substituted by systemd-tmpfiles. The solution to this is to provide /etc/machine-id. However this is not so simple: either we could get supermin to generate this, requiring an ugly systemd-specific hack to supermin, or we could generate it in the /init script, which just slows the init script down for no real reason. Since the content of /etc/machine-id doesn't really matter for a throwaway appliance so long as it has the right format, this commit copies the host file into the appliance. --- appliance/hostfiles.in | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/appliance/hostfiles.in b/appliance/hostfiles.in index 8ff53b5..6c581bd 100644 --- a/appliance/hostfiles.in +++ b/appliance/hostfiles.in @@ -13,5 +13,6 @@ dnl SUSE=1 For OpenSUSE. dnl FRUGALWARE=1 For Frugalware. dnl MAGEIA=1 For Mageia. +/etc/machine-id /lib/lsb/* /usr/share/augeas/lenses/*.aug -- 2.7.4 _______________________________________________ Libguestfs mailing list Libguestfs(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
