It works fine on my physical machine but for some reason it doesn't with qemu-kvm, which was where I was testing it first, in a setup similar to what I have on my physical machine (lvm on luks). I didn't want something exploding on my face so I was using a test subject first. Sorry for the noise, now I go back to playing with systemd a little more and try not to break anything ... too much. -- Mauro Santos
