Jan 28, 2023 at 21:05 comment added Pawel Veselov I ran into something like this with 219. Systemd would not enable the service if link is to another partition with "Invalid argument" error, without ever explaining what exactly is wrong (yet agree to start/stop it).
Mar 14, 2020 at 1:07 comment added filbranden @cdleonard Part of the problem is that you need a full picture to properly resolve dependencies. For example, what if the unit from the other partition declares it wants to run before starting a webserver or a database, but by the time it's available those services are already up? Also, recalculating the whole dependency graph is pretty expensive, so doing so when partitions being mounted means your boot will be slower. And systemd is all about fast boot.
