That's not quite true. ssh.service (and the vast majority of services)
uses DefaultDependencies=yes (as it is the default behaviour).


This will generate a dependency on various .mount units, depending on
your /etc/fstab.

$ systemctl show ssh.service -p Requires -p After
Requires=system.slice -.mount sysinit.target
After=auditd.service system.slice basic.target systemd-journald.socket
network.target sysinit.target -.mount

 so I can only assume that this is

The ssh.service is doing nothing wrong.

I'd say we have two bugs here:

a/ a package or user doing something stupid like masking _.mount
b/ systemd not handling that case more gracefully.


I quickly checked the gparted sources and noticed that it still does
mask all .mount units.

gparted.in:       | grep -v masked | cut -f1 -d' ' \
gparted.in:     systemctl --runtime mask --quiet -- $MOUNTLIST
gparted.in:     systemctl --runtime unmask --quiet -- $MOUNTLIST


So cloning and re-assinging the bug report.
