[PATCH 0/1] classes/image-postproc: chroot before postprocessing /etc/machine-id

[alexander.heinisch via isar-users]

From: Alexander Heinisch <alexander.heinisch@siemens.com>

We were experimenting with /etc-overlay removal
ending up with systemd detecting first-boot conditions due to
unitinitialized /etc/machine-id.
To circumvent this on ro etc, we put a link on /etc/machine-id to
a mutable location instead. Without chroot writing to /etc/machine-id
linked to e.g. /var/local/machine-id resolves to the hosts /var partition
instead of the file in ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}.
Apart from that overriding the machine-id-commit service was needed
to make this setup work properly. Not sure if a patch for that is
desired as well?

[PATCH 1/1] classes/image-postproc: chroot before postprocessing /etc/machine-id

[alexander.heinisch via isar-users]

From: Alexander Heinisch <alexander.heinisch@siemens.com>

If /etc/machine-id happens to be a link to e.g. /var/...
the postprocessing overrides build-hosts /var/... instead of
the desired file on the rootfs.
