Current situation
The OEM partition is mounted under
/usr/share/oem/which requires a workaround for systemd-sysext because the management of the overlay mounts on/usrresults in the OEM mount point to be lost without the workaround.Impact
We had to add a special handling for the OEM mount point in the systemd-sysext service. Users manually invoking
systemd-sysextwill lose the partition mount - while we don't support manual usage of the CLI command for the reason that it doesn't reload and start new services, this is a lesser evil than a broken system because of the OEM partition being inaccessible.Ideal future situation
We can drop the special handling because the OEM partition is mounted elsewhere, e.g., under
/oem/and a symlink from/usr/share/oem/exists for backwards compatibility.Implementation options
