          I fixed this by adding the following lines to the file below.



          Restart=on-failure
          RestartSec=00ms


          The final file will look like this.



          sudo systemctl edit snappy-set-hostname.service
          [Unit]
          Description=Set the hostname to the value stored on the writable partition
          After=etc-writable.mount
          Requires=local-fs.target
          DefaultDependencies=no
          After=local-fs.service
          RequiresMountsFor=/ /etc
          StartLimitBurst=100


          [Service]
          Type=simple
          ExecStart=
          ExecStart=/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
          Restart=on-failure
          RestartSec=500ms


          As I am creating an override to the system default file found here /lib/systemd/system/snappy-set-hostname.service. It creates a new file here /etc/systemd/system/snappy-set-hostname.service.d/override.conf.



          Which is why I ended up having put the following in.



          ExecStart=
          ExecStart=/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname


          Other wise it will try to include the ExecStart from the /lib/systemd as well as /etc/systemd which can cause problems. As it tries to run it twice.



          If you are seeing the following



          Mar 31 08:38:06 some-machine systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/snappy-set-hostname.service.d/override.conf:1] Assignment outside of section. Ignoring.


          It is because you have to use section names [Unit] and [Service] etc as needed in your override.

            If you're modifying an existing service, use systemctl edit <service-name>. Changes to /lib can be overwritten on package upgrades.

          • As this service runs very early in the boot using systemctl edit to make changes can cause problems with the system not booting. It creates a file called /etc/systemd/system/snappy-set-hostname.service.d/override.conf Which ends up causing the system to fail at startup. failed to isolate default target freezing I am not a systemd expert, so there is probably some thing I am missing.

          • As this service runs very early in the boot using systemctl edit to make changes can cause problems with the system not booting. It creates a file called /etc/systemd/system/snappy-set-hostname.service.d/override.conf Which ends up causing the system to fail at startup. failed to isolate default target freezing I am not a systemd expert, so there is probably some thing I am missing.

          I fixed this by adding the following lines to the file below.



          Restart=on-failure
          RestartSec=00ms


          The final file will look like this.



          sudo systemctl edit snappy-set-hostname.service
          [Unit]
          Description=Set the hostname to the value stored on the writable partition
          After=etc-writable.mount
          Requires=local-fs.target
          DefaultDependencies=no
          After=local-fs.service
          RequiresMountsFor=/ /etc
          StartLimitBurst=100


          [Service]
          Type=simple
          ExecStart=
          ExecStart=/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
          Restart=on-failure
          RestartSec=500ms


          As I am creating an override to the system default file found here /lib/systemd/system/snappy-set-hostname.service. It creates a new file here /etc/systemd/system/snappy-set-hostname.service.d/override.conf.



          Which is why I ended up having put the following in.



          ExecStart=
          ExecStart=/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname


          Other wise it will try to include the ExecStart from the /lib/systemd as well as /etc/systemd which can cause problems. As it tries to run it twice.



          If you are seeing the following



          Mar 31 08:38:06 some-machine systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/snappy-set-hostname.service.d/override.conf:1] Assignment outside of section. Ignoring.


          It is because you have to use section names [Unit] and [Service] etc as needed in your override.

            If you're modifying an existing service, use systemctl edit <service-name>. Changes to /lib can be overwritten on package upgrades.
