Description Umut Tezduyar 2014-12-13 21:13:14 UTC

We are (as a distro) overriding a single sys config value by a file within /usr/lib/. Systemd is being nice and informing us about the override on every boot. 

But I have noticed that between 216-218, systemctl daemon-reload resets the sys configs and puts out a warning message which I should be not there even if we have to set the kernel sysconfig. 

# systemctl --version
systemd 218
-PAM -AUDIT -SELINUX +IMA -APPARMOR +SMACK -SYSVINIT +UTMP -LIBCRYPTSETUP -GCRYPT -GNUTLS -ACL -XZ -LZ4 -SECCOMP -BLKID -ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN
# systemctl daemon-reload
Overwriting earlier assignment of kernel/sysrq in file '/usr/lib/sysctl.d/52-axis.conf'.
# cat /usr/lib/sysctl.d/52-axis.conf 
kernel.sysrq=1
#

I am pretty sure this works correctly these days. If it doesn't, please file a new bug on systemd github. Thanks.
