Re: [PATCH] remote: systemd: Remove unix sockets from filesystem when disabling a '.socket' unit

The existence of the unix socket path is used by the remote driver to determine whether modular daemons are in use, so if the socket file stays behind and the user decided to switch from modular to monolithic daemon which was socket activated, the remote driver will insist on picking '/var/run/libvirt/virtqemud-sock', even when it's no longer in use: # systemctl start libvirtd.service # virsh list Id Name State -------------------- # systemctl stop libvirtd.service Warning: Stopping libvirtd.service, but it can still be activated by: libvirtd.socket libvirtd-ro.socket libvirtd-admin.socket # systemctl start virtqemud.socket # virsh list Id Name State -------------------- # systemctl stop virtqemud.socket # systemctl start libvirtd.service # virsh list error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtqemud-sock': Connection refused # virsh -c 'qemu:///system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock' list Id Name State -------------------- Fix this by instructing systemd to delete the socket file when deactivating the unit file for the socket.
