I have a fileserver with several HDDs (btrfs and dm-crypt for all except one which is lvm2 and dm-crypt).
Within the last week when I umount a USB drive, all my other mounts immediately get unmounted too. I lose /home and almost everything else except the system device. The USB drive is the ESP (EFI system partition) mounted at /boot. It is intended to be unmounted after boot and it worked appropriately until the last week. If I reboot, all is fine until I umount the USB device (ESP). I have *not* tried to reproduce the behavior by umounting other devices as this is a live fileserver. However, I can trigger this behavior 100% of the time if I umount /boot. journalctl shows a number of messages similar to this: Jul 24 20:25:41 myserver systemd[1]: Stopped (with error) /dev/mapper/wxyz. -- Subject: Unit dev-mapper-wxyz.device has finished shutting down -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel -- -- Unit dev-mapper-wxyz.device has finished shutting down. As I said, the system has started, in the last week, unmounting all these other devices. Why? I am not a developer and I am new to systemd. I am happy to provide additional information upon request.
