As my /var partition is RO is created a symlink to a clock file located in a RW partition, I got this error : Nov 05 16:05:44 rpi-home-master systemd[12023]: systemd-timesyncd.service: Failed to set up special execution directory in /var/lib: Read-only file system Nov 05 16:05:44 rpi-home-master systemd[12023]: systemd-timesyncd.service: Failed at step STATE_DIRECTORY spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd: Read-only file system I've also tried to create a /var/lib/systemd/timesync symlink to a timesync folder in a RW partition. I get this error : Nov 05 16:37:42 rpi-home-master systemd[17668]: systemd-timesyncd.service: Failed to set up special execution directory in /var/lib: Not a directory Nov 05 16:37:42 rpi-home-master systemd[17668]: systemd-timesyncd.service: Failed at step STATE_DIRECTORY spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd: Not a directory How can I have timesyncd clock file in a separate partition? </body> </html>
