[systemd-devel] systemd has not the same behaviour following the version of the kernel ; StopWhenUnneeded no longer works

Thanks for your answer. 

After some research, it seems that issue is already registered and fixed : https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/23410

BR,

Long standing issue with udev rules and a kernel change.

IIRC you should try ACTION!="remove" in your udev rule instead.

There are other posts on the list about this but I'm running out the door so thought I'd through a hint at least - if it doesn't work, I may have got the action name wrong, so look around!

Cheers
