Description Dave Reisner 2013-08-06 23:41:37 UTC

Steps to reproduce: systemctl snapshot

Expected behavior: systemd creates a snapshot named something like snapshot-%u.snapshot.

Actual behavior: systemd aborts at src/core/manager.c:1071 on assert(name || path);

This is present in latest git, and possibly goes back several years.

Why all this pessimism? It only goes back 36 days.

    snapshot: snapshots are just a special kind of transient units now

Not being intentionally pessimistic, just what I had gleaned from a quick review of git blame. Thanks for the quick debug.
