Hello!
I need help with a systemd service that loads RDMA and InfiniBand drivers. The
service unit specifies DefaultDependencies=no. However, when the service starts
in initrd, it gets terminated when initrd-cleanup.service isolates for
initrd-switch-root.target in the middle of the initialization.
Then make your service
Before=initrd-switch-root.target
assuming it is added to the default transaction. You need to make sure
your service is not considered started until drives are loaded.
My first question is, what are the correct dependencies required to run this
service in the initrd environment? I tried adding IgnoreOnIsolate=true under
the Unit section, and it helped, but I'm unsure if that is the correct solution.
My second question is, how does IgnoreOnIsolate=true affect the system in
initrd? Will this solve the problem, or could it potentially introduce
unforeseen issues?
Thank you,
Carolina Jubran
