Beginning with systemd-211, on every boot I'm getting the systemd-networkd warning/error message: Failed to save link data /run/systemd/network/links/2: No such file or directory So far as I can tell all is working fine (the network is up, and once logged in, /run/systemd/network/links/2 is present), so I'm curious about why this warning occurs. Is this issue occurring for anyone else ?
