This is the default settings of Calamares


---
# Whether to create /etc/machine-id for systemd.
systemd: true
# Whether to create /var/lib/dbus/machine-id for D-Bus.
dbus: true
# Whether /var/lib/dbus/machine-id should be a symlink to /etc/machine-id
# (ignored if dbus is false, or if there is no /etc/machine-id to point to).
symlink: true

However we set openrc basics by default, even on systemd systems:

write_calamares_machineid_conf(){
    local conf="$1/etc/calamares/modules/machineid.conf"
    echo "systemd: false" > $conf
    echo "dbus: true" >> $conf
    echo "symlink: false" >> $conf
}

So we have to investigate why we changed it and correct it for both init systems!

Basically, openrc doesn't need /etc/machine-id, it will create it if not present via init script.

So we remove the code and use the default settings shipped by calamares or what is the best option here? Since manjaro-tools detects the init system we can make it a little more dynamic ...

I had the idea to bind mount machine-id, just like we bind mount /etc/resolv.conf
