That's a very good point; probably all of these sockets will end up in /run rather than /var (as they once did). Maybe the issues I'm seeing after boot are not related to sockets being masked as I assumed. I have no idea what else it could be, though. I've got the unit ordered before all the sockets, but NFS is still behaving badly (losing visibility of /home and other mounts), and it works fine if the proper NFS /var is not mounted at all and the /var from the NFS root is used (but then it's not using the right /var). Any idea if systemd does something else in /var in very early boot? Paul
