Hello, IPMI watchdog hardware on servers can be configured outside the /dev/watchdog interface[1].
It would be beneficial if systemd can first get the current timeout value (WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT), if not set, only then set it to RuntimeWatchdogSec. This would ensure that timeout values set via other configuration mechanisms still hold good and the system admin does not have to duplicate the timeout values in /etc/systemd/system.conf (especially for large number of systems, remotely). See bugzilla report[2] for details. If there are other methods to reduce the number of configuration options that the system admin has to deal with, do share.
