Expected behaviour

It should work.

Actual behaviour

It fails to start. Here's the important part of the log.

Mar 13 05:28:57 ss-node-2 systemd[1]: erigon.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 2.
Mar 13 05:28:57 ss-node-2 systemd[1]: Stopped erigon.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I tried older versions up to dencun and that didn't help. I also re-compiled myself and I got the same error.

FIX

To fix the issue, I just modified the service to have a user. Adding something like

User=root

fixes the problem.

I observed the exact same problem with a different systemd service.

Don't have it anymore. You can repro with the steps I gave.
