1) Lennart's recommendation of removing "/tmp" within /etc/fstab and
using tmpfs for "/tmp" appears to stop the dependency issue for
systemd-239 for systemd-252. However, RH8 and RH9 don't support
systemd-networkd, I am wondering how this can be overcome if removing
"/tmp" and using "tmpfs" aren't options? Would I have to modify various
services and targets? What would I need to add or remove within services
and targets to avoid these dependencies?
everything on the system depends on /tmp having behaviour and semantics of a local filesystem. it is literally part of ABI if you wish. it is hardcoded everywhere
it must "be there" always and until the last minute.
Don't do that then ! it is not only systemd..
What is exactly your problem ? you cannot commit a little ram to tmpfs ?
