I fail to make this work. Installed this to the initrd (note the
ExecStop "command"):

[Unit]
Description=NVMe Event Monitor for Automatical Subsystem Connection
Documentation=man:nvme-monitor(1)
DefaultDependencies=false
Conflicts=shutdown.target
Requires=systemd-udevd-kernel.socket
After=systemd-udevd-kernel.socket
Before=sysinit.target systemd-udev-trigger.service nvmefc-boot-connections.service
RequiresMountsFor=/sys
IgnoreOnIsolate=true

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nvme monitor $NVME_MONITOR_OPTIONS
ExecStop=-/usr/bin/systemctl show -p IgnoreOnIsolate %N
KillMode=mixed

[Install]
WantedBy=sysinit.target

I verified (in a pre-pivot shell) that systemd had seen the
IgnoreOnIsolate property. But when initrd-switch-root.target is
isolated, the unit is cleanly stopped nonethless.

After boot, the service actually remains running when isolating e.g. "rescue.target". But when switching root,
it doesn't work.

dolin:~/:[141]# systemctl show -p IgnoreOnIsolate nvme-monitor.service
IgnoreOnIsolate=yes

Tested only with systemd-234 so far. Any ideas what I'm getting wrong?
