On any given system, I would expect ovsdb-server to run as the same user every time. Is there a reason to sometimes use a different user? Or, perhaps you are saying that, just before invoking ovsdb-server, the service unit should chown (or whatever) the database file to the user that it is going to use to invoke ovsdb-server. That might be reasonable, but no one has thought to do it yet. Do you want to submit a patch?
