[systemd-devel] Errors using machinectl pull-tar and machinectl pull-dkr

[Peter Paule]

Hi there,

I tried "machinectl" from systemd 219 on Arch Linux (testing) today: I  
got two errors. Should we discuss this here or should I open a Bug  
Report?

1) Download if tar-file  
(http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/machinectl.html#Examples)

Failed to create local image: Is a directory
Exiting

It fails with "Failed to create local image: Is a directory". I  
deleted all directories in /var/lib/machines before running this. But  
it doesn't help.

2) Download docker image

# machinectl pull-dkr maxmeyer/middleman-presentation --verify=no  
--dkr-index-url=https://index.docker.io

It fails with "Failed to make btrfs subvolume

My environment:

# systemctl --version

I run a local squid, so I configured systemd-importd.conf with the  
environment variables. I don't think this matters, but I added this  
information just for the case it might be relevant.
