Bug#783462: systemd-sysctl does not apply config at boot

[Tomasz Buchert]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-17
Severity: normal

Hi,
I have a custom config in /etc/sysctl.d/, but systemd
does not seem to apply it at boot:

[ ~ ] $ sudo sysctl -a | grep sack
net.ipv4.tcp_dsack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1

It says that the service run fine though:

[ ~ ] $ systemctl status systemd-sysctl.service
● systemd-sysctl.service - Apply Kernel Variables
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-sysctl.service; static)
   Active: active (exited) since lun 2015-04-27 10:06:48 CEST; 23min ago
     Docs: man:systemd-sysctl.service(8)
           man:sysctl.d(5)
  Process: 444 ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 444 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   CGroup: /system.slice/systemd-sysctl.service

However when I rerun it when the system is running, my custom config
*is* applied:

[ ~ ] $ sudo systemctl stop systemd-sysctl.service
[ ~ ] $ sudo systemctl start systemd-sysctl.service
[ ~ ] $ sudo sysctl -a | grep sack
net.ipv4.tcp_dsack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0

I suspect that it may have to do with the fact that I have a LUKS-encrypted
main partition.
Still, /etc/ as at the same partition as / and so if systemd-sysctl executes
then /etc/
should be available.

I think I'll solve it by manually adding dependency of systemd-sysctl to some
later target,
but I think that there still is a bug.

Cheers,
Tomasz
