[Solved] How does one go about changing the hostname in arch nowadays?
Everything I've seen on the subject references /etc/rc.conf, which I believe is no longer used.
I've updated /etc/hostname, but when hostname -f does not return the expected.

What's the output of 'hostnamectl'?

Please see "man archlinux".
Also, I can never remember if hostname is one of those things you need to reboot for...
