[Unit] Description=Grow the root partition After=systemd-readahead-collect.service systemd-readahead-replay.service Before=systemd-fsck@.service sysroot.mount
This will not work. "systemd-fsck@.service" is is not a unit name (but just a template for unit names), and dependencies may only be declared relative to other units, never to templates. (I admit though that this might be useful to have, but then again, I am not sure how we could implement this nicely...).
My recommendation would be to add a dropin file systemd-fsck@.service/foobar.conf or so, which adds the reverse dependency of the one you are looking for. Or in other words: extend the systemd-fsck@.service definition, instead of your growroot.service
definition.
Are you saying I should replace the existing systemd-fsck@.service file with my own version or what exactly do you mean by 'extending'?
You can extend any unit file in systemd by creating a subdir in /etc/systemd/system/ named after the unit, but suffixed with ".d", and then dropping a .conf file in there. Files like this will be read after the main unit file has been read and its settings can hence override or extend the settings from the main unit file. For instance units systemd will look for both the .d/ directory of the instance and of the template.
Hence:
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/systemd-fsck@.service.d echo "..." > /etc/systemd/system/systemd-fsck@.service.d/foobar.conf systemctl daemon-reload
Allows you to extend the definitions in systemd-fsck@.service by your own settings.
