[systemd-devel] Starting services enabled by filesystem overlay over /etc/

I have an embedded system with a readonly rootfs.

I've setup a very early service that mounts a writable aufs overlay over /etc/.


The problem I'm having is systemd is not starting any services that I have enabled in that overlay that were not initially enabled in the readonly rootfs.

?I've tried placing a calls to systemctl daemon-reload or systemctl daemon-reexec just after mounting the overlay but the services are not started, after the fact systemctl will report that the services are enabled but inactive.


What do I need to do to get systemd to automatically start the services that are marked enabled in that overlay?
