Hi, When playing with soft-reboot and services running from a root image (in this case btrfs subvolume), I run into something which looks like a bug for me. So the service files have: RootImage=/dev/vda2 RootImageOptions=ro,subvolid=278 If a service file has any of the following three keywords in the service section (this example is from bind): Type=forking KillMode=process ExecStartPre=+/usr/libexec/bind/named.prep Then /run will not be created with tmpfs. If I remove all three keywords, /run will be created with tmpfs. Is there a special logic behind this? Or just a bug? With all other services I tested until now, I have in the logs: Aug 27 08:11:07 microos (rsyncd)[1452]: Applying namespace mount on /run/systemd/mount-rootfs/run Aug 27 08:11:07 microos (rsyncd)[1452]: Mounting tmpfs (tmpfs) on /run/systemd/mount-rootfs/run (0 "")... and it is working. But this two lines are missing with bind and all following operations will fail: Aug 27 10:25:11 microos (med.prep)[2442]: Applying namespace mount on /run/systemd/mount-rootfs/run/dbus/system_bus_socket Aug 27 10:25:11 microos (med.prep)[2442]: Followed source symlinks /run/dbus/system_bus_socket → /run/dbus/system_bus_socket.
