<pre>Using Arch Linux x86_64, systemd 218.
When I try overriding the unspecified (dynamic) GID of group 'disk' with a
static value, for example:
---
basic.conf:
g disk - - -
archlinux.conf:
g disk 6 - -
---
systemd-sysusers logs the following warning: "Two or more conflicting lines for
disk configured, ignoring."
In this particular case, the desired gid gets assigned, but in general it isn't
clear from the message which line gets ignored.
I think it is very useful to be able to override the dynamic or default field
values for a user or group as specified in one configuration file with static
values specified for that same user or group in a different configuration file
without warnings.
This way there is no need to customize the configuration files which ship with
systemd (and keep those changes in sync with future updates).</pre>
