Bug Description

[impact]

machinectl read-only does not work

[test case]

On a system where the systemd machines dir is *not* on a btrfs volume (e.g. it's on a normal ext4 fs), create an image 'test' and then:

$ sudo machinectl image-status test
test
            Type: directory
            Path: /var/lib/machines/test
        Hostname: ubuntu
              OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
              RO: writable
         Created: Wed 2022-10-05 13:41:15 EDT; 34s ago

$ sudo machinectl read-only test
Could not mark image read-only: Access denied

[regression potential]

failure marking images ro or rw

[scope]

this is needed in all releases that include machinectl

this is fixed upstream by 137d162c42ed858613afc3d7493d08d4ae6d5c1b

Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/249.11-0ubuntu3.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
