When combined with a tmpfs on /run or /var/lib, allows to create
arbitrary and ephemeral symlinks for StateDirectory or RuntimeDirectory.
This is especially useful when sharing these directories between
different services, to make the same state/runtime directory 'backend'
appear as different names to each service, so that they can be added/removed
to a sharing agreement transparently, without code changes.
An example (simplified, but real) use case:
foo.service:
StateDirectory=foo
bar.service:
StateDirectory=bar
foo.service.d/shared.conf:
StateDirectory=
StateDirectory=shared:foo
bar.service.d/shared.conf:
StateDirectory=
StateDirectory=shared:bar
foo and bar use respectively /var/lib/foo and /var/lib/bar. Then
the orchestration layer decides to stop this sharing, the drop-in
can be removed. The services won't need any update and will keep
working and being able to store state, transparently.
To keep backward compatibility, new DBUS messages are added.
The /var/lib/private/foo -> /var/lib/foo symlink for StateDirectory and
DynamicUser is set up on the host filesystem, before the mount namespacing
is brought up. If an empty /var/lib is used, to ensure the service does not
see other services data, the symlink is then not available despite
/var/lib/private being set up as expected.
Make a list of symlinks that need to be set up, and create them after all
the namespaced filesystems have been created, but before any eventual
read-only switch is flipped.
"! test ..." does not cause the script to fail, even with set -e.
IIUC, bash treats this command as part of an expression line, as it
would if 'test ... && ...' was used. Failing expression lines do not
terminate the script.
This fixes the obvious cases by changing '! test' → 'test !'.
Then the inversion happens internally in test and bash will propagate
the failure.
