Re: [systemd-devel] systemd-networkd: reload network unit from a non-root partition using a mount unit

We would rather recommend you mount everything you need for your base system (i.e., all of /etc and /usr, but not necessarily /var, /home, ...) from your initrd so that it is all there once your real userspace is started. That said, it _should_ just work to simply restart the relevant services (i.e., systemd-networkd and wpa_supplicant), or better you, just order them After= the relevant mount units (the latter will only work if you don't need any networking before this point of course). Please note that 'systemctl daemon-reload' only reloads the configuration of PID1 itself, and not of the individual daemons, so that is probably what tripped you up. Thanks a lot for these tips! Ordering networkd with After= in a .conf file works fine.

[systemd-devel] systemd-networkd: reload network unit from a non-root partition using a mount unit
Hello, I try to configure systemd 216 to boot an embedded board where the network configuration stays on a different partition. The boot should look like: - mount a partition called config using a mount unit - now systemd should reload its configuration to get two network units which resides on the config partition [the path /etc/systemd/network/ is linked to that partition] - on the root file system I have a wpa_supplicant@ unit for the wlan0 device [the wpa_supplicant.conf file for that device also resides on the config partition] My problem is that I can't get systemd to succesfully reload its configuration for my network units after mounting the config partition. I tried to to add a ExecStart systemctl daemon-reload inside the wpa_supplicant rule. If I have the network unit in my (read-only) root filesystem everything works fine. (No reloading is needed here ...) Is it possible to place the network untis onto a partition which is mounted by systemd?
