Subject: [PATCH] Fix reading /etc/machine-id in kernel-install (#25388)
2aacef
2aacef
* Fix reading /etc/machine-id in kernel-install
2aacef
2aacef
The kernel-install script has code to read the contents of
2aacef
/etc/machine-id into the MACHINE_ID variable. Depending
2aacef
on the variable content kernel-install either logs the
2aacef
value or creates a new machine id via 'systemd-id128 new'.
2aacef
In that logic there is one issue. If the file /etc/machine-id
2aacef
exists but is empty, the script tries to call read on an
2aacef
empty file which return with an exit code != 0. As the
2aacef
script code also uses 'set -e', kernel-install will exit at
2aacef
this point which is unexpected.
2aacef
2aacef
The condition of an empty /etc/machine-id file exists for
2aacef
example when building OS images, which should initialize the
2aacef
system id on first boot but not staticly inside of the image.
2aacef
afaik an empty /etc/machine-id is also a common approach
2aacef
to make systemd indicate that it should create a new system
2aacef
id. Because of this, the commit makes sure the reading of
2aacef
/etc/machine-id does not fail in any case such that the
2aacef
handling of the MACHINE_ID variable takes place.
