[systemd-devel] "File exists warning" on first boot

[Johan x Lundin]

Hello,

On a fresh boot (no /etc/machine-id yet), I'm getting:
systemd[1]: Failed to populate /etc with preset unit settings, ignoring: File
exists

The files that systemd is complaining about are installed by systemd
itself (/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty at tty1.service and
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/remote-fs.target).

Is there any reason not to let these files be populated in /etc on first boot,
and remove the warning?

Best Regards,
Johan Lundin
