Public bug reported:
Attempting to start the cachefiles service when /etc/default/cachefilesd
has #RUN=yes commented out:
systemctl start cachefilesd.service
Leaves service "active" even though the daemon fails:
systemctl status cachefilesd.service
● cachefilesd.service - LSB: CacheFiles daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/cachefilesd; generated)
Active: active (exited) since Tue 2021-02-23 13:24:57 EST; 1min 15s ago

Process: 26346 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/cachefilesd stop (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 26360 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/cachefilesd start (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
Feb 23 13:24:57 gerarddaily systemd[1]: Starting LSB: CacheFiles daemon...
Feb 23 13:24:57 gerarddaily cachefilesd[26360]: * cachefilesd disabled, please
set RUN=yes in /etc/default/cachefilesd
Feb 23 13:24:57 gerarddaily systemd[1]: Started LSB: CacheFiles daemon.
Feb 23 13:25:53 gerarddaily cachefilesd[26273]: Daemon Terminated
This leads systemd to ignore future "start" commands even after then
problem is fixed. Systemd services typically report a failure, not
"Success" when their daemon fails to start.
Work around: manually stopping and then starting service, or systemctl
restart cachefilesd restarts the service.
