In kdump kernel, we need mount certain file system, and we use "nofail"
for all mounts specified in /etc/fstab. Because we don't want any mount
failure to interrupt the boot process to arrive at
dracut-pre-pivot.service (This is the point just before we switch root).
And at that dracut-pre-pivot, we run our kernel dump capture script
(called kdump.sh).
Our kdump.sh needs every .mount is mounted (or started in systemd
context) before it gets run by dracut-pre-pivot.service. And
dracut-pre-pivot.service is configured to run after local-fs.target. So
what we expect is no matter nofail is configured or not, local-fs.target
should be delayed after all mount units are started.
And it's also the same for remote nofail mounts and remote-fs.target.
