I was trying to use/test the latest  CentOS Atomic images [1] [2] and 
got in to this issue i.e. "systemctl start etcd " is failing.

===============================
-bash-4.2# systemctl start etcd
-bash-4.2# systemctl status etcd
etcd.service - Etcd Server
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/etcd.service; disabled)
    Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2015-04-10 05:26:54 
UTC; 6s ago
   Process: 1724 ExecStart=/usr/bin/etcd (code=exited, status=200/CHDIR)
  Main PID: 1724 (code=exited, status=200/CHDIR)

Apr 10 05:26:54 myhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started Etcd Server.
Apr 10 05:26:54 myhost.localdomain systemd[1724]: Failed at step CHDIR 
spawning /usr/bin/etcd: No such file or directory
Apr 10 05:26:54 myhost.localdomain systemd[1]: etcd.service: main 
process exited, code=exited, status=200/CHDIR
Apr 10 05:26:54 myhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Unit etcd.service entered 
failed state.
================================

I suspect there is something wrong with systemd unit file of etcd. The 
service file looks like below as of now. I think 
"WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/etcd/`$hostname`.etcd"  should have only 
'hostname' not '$hostname'.


-bash-4.2# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/etcd.service
[Unit]
Description=Etcd Server
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
# etc logs to the journal directly, suppress double logging
StandardOutput=null
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/etcd/`$hostname`.etcd
User=etcd
ExecStart=/usr/bin/etcd

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
