Description Frantisek Sumsal 2017-04-26 12:04:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
'e' directive in tmpfiles.d config file should make systemd-tmpfiles --create a noop.

Excerpt from the manpages:
1) systemd-tmpfiles(8):
--create
If this option is passed, all files and directories marked with f, F, w, d, D, v, p, L, c, b, m in the configuration files are created or written to. Files and directories marked with z, Z, t, T, a, and A have their ownership, access mode and security labels set.

2) tmpfiles.d(5):
e
Similar to d, but the directory will not be created if it does not exist. Lines of this type accept shell-style globs in place of normal path names.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-219-38.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/dir-age.conf
e /tmpfiles-age/ - - - 5s
# test ! -d '/tmpfiles-age'
# echo $?
0
# systemd-tmpfiles --create

Actual results:
# systemd-tmpfiles --create
Adjusting owner and mode for /tmpfiles-age-J9m failed: No such file or directory
# echo $?
1

Expected results:
No error and EC 0.
