Description of problem: I am unable to use the systemd dbus API to start a slice as a transient unit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Invoke StartTransientUnit with a .slice unit using the dbus API 2. 3. Actual results: Unit type slice does not support transient units. Expected results: A transient unit of type slice is started. Additional info: This appears to be functional in systemd v229, but not in systemd v219 or v222 when tested. This feature is needed by OpenShift to support quality of service and pod-level cgroup isolation features. The commit that appeared to introduce the fix that requires backporting is here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/17f62e9bd00f5fefd486475861b06d3ec6b7ee10 From PR: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/1886
