Looking at the cups.service file, it doesn't have a
after=local-fs.target
specification, so it doesn't wait until local-fs.target has been
launched before running. I guess the assumption is that most systems
now use a single, monolithic filesystem with /var simply a directory
of the root filesystem. IMHO that's a stupid assumption to make, but
there's a lot of stuff I detest about systemd.
I agree. And while there has been a push to having one huge root
partition, of late. I dare say that there might be a push back for
separating some things, with a bunch of people having mixed hard disc
and SSD systems, putting the things you want to be nippy on SSD and the
long term storage that you don't trust the SSD for, on the HDD.
