Go-ethereum: systemctl problem

[freshonline]

Work:
[Unit]
Description=Geth Ethereum node
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/geth
ExecStart=/usr/bin/geth $GETH_ENABLE_RPC $GETH_CACHE $GETH_MAXPEERS
User=ethereumuser
RemainAfterExit=true

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Don't work:
[Unit]
Description=Geth Ethereum node
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/geth
ExecStart=/usr/bin/geth
User=ethereumuser
RemainAfterExit=true

Don't work:
[Unit]
Description=Geth Ethereum node
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/geth
ExecStart=/usr/bin/geth --syncmode "fast"
User=ethereumuser
RemainAfterExit=true

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Why? I need service with '--syncmode "fast"'

[lmars]

@freshonline it would be very useful if you could clarify what you mean when you say it doesn't work (i.e. does systemctl start return an error of some sort, are there errors in journalctl etc.).

I doubt you really need the --syncmode "fast" switch, as it is default for quite a long time already. If you insist, try instead:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/geth "--syncmode fast"
