I would guess that it's not related to any patching you did. The most
frequent cause of this that I've seen is that someone added a new disk
to the LVM volume group, and did it in a way that the udev rules for it
weren't written out to /etc/udev/rules.d/.

You should be able to run vgscan and pvscan to see if those report any
missing disks. If they do, then bring the volume online and re-run them.
Then "systemctl default" should bring the system up the rest of the way
and you can check to see if the necessary udev rules are there, or if
they're excluded by cio_ignore, etc., etc.

If you're talking about user-defined services, i.e., not something 
shipped by the Linux distribution provider, than yes. See Dan Horák's 
email for that. If you're talking about things that were shipped from 
Linux distribution provider, or an ISV, then you're getting into 
somewhat dangerous territory.


In general, things that come with the distribution _should_ already be 
set up to start after the network if they depend on that being present. 
Yes, you can create overrides for the service unit files they send. That 
may or may not cause problems with other services. If you do that, test 
thoroughly, and be prepared to be asked to revert that change if your 
support provider thinks it may be implicated in any service request 
you've opened.

I believe adding

After=network-online.target

to your unit file should do what you need. They have good
documentation, so you should be able to find the details there.
