misc_systemd_units: Add udev-settled.target
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
After the upgrade of systemd from version 27 to version 238, we had the
problem, that `mxnetctl start` from network.service ("Network
Connectivity") was run before all network interfaces were available and
thus didn't rename them.

network.service is configured with `DefaultDependencies=no` to prevent
problems with nfs umounts during shutdown. But even when
network.services was returned to `DefaultDependencies=yes` and waited
for basic.target ("Basic System") the problem persisted:

    root@nsa:/etc/systemd/system (master)#  journalctl --system --boot=-0|egrep 'mxnetctl|Gigabit|renamed|Basic System|Network Connectivity'

Similar problems are possible with other startup services (e.g.
mxmount) as they are expecting the local devices to be available.

So we want to start and wait for systemd-udev-settle.service ("udev Wait for
Complete Device Initialization") before our services. We do this by
adding our own target with `Before=basic.target` and
`After=systemd-udev-settle.service`. The normal services will wait for
basic.target per default. Because network.service has
`DefaultDependencies=no`, we add the order dependency explicitly. Because
the unit file of network.service is system specific and not distributed
by the distmaster, we add this order dependency in the unit file of the
new target.

Add new target unit udev-settled.target.
