[systemd-devel] systemd-analyze verify errors

[Chris Bell]

Hi all,

First off, I apologize for starting so many threads here. I'm working on 
becoming intimately familiar with systemd and all its capabilities, and 
have run into numerous questions and issues. This list has been 
incredibly helpful, thank you all!!

Now, the issue. When I use `systemd-analyze verify` I intermittently get 
errors about some of my mount units. Specifically, it will list one of 
my mount units and say: "Unit is bound to inactive unit <device-unit>. 
Stopping, too."

I get at least one of these messages any time I verify a unit. If I run 
verify without a unit file name, it do not get the messages.

Examples: (same command each time)

# systemd-analyze verify rngd.service
dev-disk-by\x2duuid-c1de93ea\x2d51ca\x2d4498\x2db7f4\x2df32b3e2fcbd4.swap: 
Unit is bound to inactive unit 
dev-disk-by\x2duuid-c1de93ea\x2d51ca\x2d4498\x2db7f4\x2df32b3e2fcbd4.device. 
Stopping, too.

# systemd-analyze verify rngd.service
boot.mount: Unit is bound to inactive unit dev-sda2.device. Stopping, 
too.
dev-disk-by\x2duuid-c1de93ea\x2d51ca\x2d4498\x2db7f4\x2df32b3e2fcbd4.swap:

dev-disk-by\x2duuid-c1de93ea\x2d51ca\x2d4498\x2db7f4\x2df32b3e2fcbd4.device. 
Stopping, too.
home.mount: Unit is bound to inactive unit 
dev-disk-by\x2duuid-e3c4306f\x2dda34\x2d4e17\x2d9572\x2d048733a2df52.device. 
Stopping, too.

# systemd-analyze verify rngd.service
home.mount: Unit is bound to inactive unit 
dev-disk-by\x2duuid-e3c4306f\x2dda34\x2d4e17\x2d9572\x2d048733a2df52.device. 
Stopping, too.
boot.mount: Unit is bound to inactive unit dev-sda2.device. Stopping, 
too.
boot-efi.mount: Unit is bound to inactive unit dev-sda1.device. 
Stopping, too.



Each time, I get messages that mounts are bound to inactive devices, and 
that the mounts will be stopped. The mounts are never actually stopped. 
I've been just ignoring them for now. Is there anything I should do 
about these?

Thanks again!!
