I've not seen this behavior in any of the dozen or so centos7 systems I have deployed. The system must be rebooted after editing the /etc/hostname file as that is only read once at boot. Hostnamectl will change that file and also change the kernel param that stores the hostname. Additionally, you can use it to set a "pretty" name like "Fred's portable game blaster" complete with spaces and quotes. I don't know where the pretty name is stored but it persists across reboots.</p></blockquote></div><br>All I can tell you is that I set it during my kickstart during installation.
