systemd does not honor Watchdogdevice in system.conf.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When WatchdogDevice=/dev/watchdog systemd still attempts to open /dev/watchdog0. If ipmi_watchdog is loaded then only /dev/watchdog is registered irrespective of /dev/watchdog0.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
  • systemd-250-6.el9_0
