2011-07-25machine-id: be nice and generate compliant v4 UUIDsLennart Poettering
Newly generated machine IDs now qualify as randomized v4 UUIds. This is trivial to do and hopefully increases adoption of the ID for various purposes.
2011-03-28use /run instead of /dev/.runKay Sievers
Instead of the /dev/.run trick we have currently implemented, we decided to move the early-boot runtime dir to /run. An existing /var/run directory is bind-mounted to /run. If /var/run is already a symlink, no action is taken. An existing /var/lock directory is bind-mounted to /run/lock. If /var/lock is already a symlink, no action is taken. To implement the directory vs. symlink logic, we have a: ConditionPathIsDirectory= now, which is used in the mount units. Skipped mount unit in case of symlink: $ systemctl status var-run.mount var-run.mount - Runtime Directory Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/var-run.mount) Active: inactive (dead) start condition failed at Fri, 25 Mar 2011 04:51:41 +0100; 6min ago Where: /var/run What: /run CGroup: name=systemd:/system/var-run.mount The systemd rpm needs to make sure to add something like: %pre mkdir -p -m0755 /run >/dev/null 2>&1 || : or it needs to be added to filesystem.rpm. Udev -git already uses /run if that exists, and is writable at bootup. Otherwise it falls back to the current /dev/.udev. Dracut and plymouth need to be adopted to switch from /dev/.run to run too. Cheers, Kay

2011-03-04main: introduce /etc/machine-idLennart Poettering
This is supposed to play the same roles /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, however fixes a couple of problems: - It is available during early boot since it is stored in /etc - Removes the ID from the D-Bus context and moves it into a system context, thus hopefully lowering hesitation by people to use it. - It is generated at installation time. If the file is empty at boot time it will be mounted over with a randomly generated ID, which is not saved to disk. This is useful to support state-less machines with no transient or writable /etc configuration.
