Some configuration files that need updates are directly under in /etc. To update them atomically, we need write access to /etc. For Ubuntu Core this is an issue as /etc is not writable. Only a selection of subdirectories can be writable. The general solution is symlinks or bind mounts to writable places. But for atomic writes in /etc, that does not work. So Ubuntu has had a patch for that that did not age well. Instead we would like to introduce some environment variables for alternate paths. * SYSTEMD_ETC_HOSTNAME: /etc/hostname * SYSTEMD_ETC_MACHINE_INFO: /etc/machine-info * SYSTEMD_ETC_LOCALTIME: /etc/localtime * SYSTEMD_ETC_LOCALE_CONF: /etc/locale.conf * SYSTEMD_ETC_VCONSOLE_CONF: /etc/vconsole.conf * SYSTEMD_ETC_ADJTIME: /etc/adjtime While it is for now expected that there is a symlink from the standard, we still try to read them from that alternate path. This is important for `/etc/localtime`, which is a symlink, so we cannot have an indirect symlink or bind mount for it. Since machine-id is typically written only once and not updated. This commit does not cover it. An initrd can properly create it and bind mount it.
