[systemd-devel] [PATCH] machine-id: add --root option to operate on an alternate fs tree

Greg KH gregkh at linuxfoundation.org
Thu Mar 13 21:43:04 PDT 2014


This makes it possible to initialize the /etc/machine-id file on an
arbitrary filesystem hierarchy.  This helps systems that wish to run
this at image creation time in a subdirectory, or from initramfs before
pivot-root is called.
