Description Perry Myers 2011-11-11 20:39:54 UTC
Description of problem:
systemd service enable/disable relies on symbolic links, which we cannot use in a stateless linux environment.  So we need to find a way to work around this limitation in stateless linux support so that we can enable services persistently

I don't know if I'm supposed to respond or not (maybe this was opened just for tracking), but I was thinking that it may work with something like 
- boot a default target that also creates a /etc/systemd/system/custom_target on tmpfs
- change to the custom runlevel

Cristi, 

Feel free to comment/patch any bugs, your idea is along the same lines I was thinking. If you want to take a stab at it go ahead :)

Comment 3 Fabian Deutsch 2013-10-07 10:38:50 UTC
We should really address this to get a clean solution to enable or disable services at runtime.

This should probably also get a feature page. To be discussed on the next node meeting.

pushing to target release 3.5, assuming its not planned for 3.4 at this point...

Comment 5 Itamar Heim 2014-06-22 12:27:57 UTC
Closing old bugs. If this issue is still relevant/important in current version, please re-open the bug.

i hope the new envisioned model will address this seamlessly
