According to the docs, there is an option specifically for mounts:
RequiresMountsFor=/srv/file/named
ensures all mounts required to access /srv/file/named
are in place before this unit starts.
This has worked for BIND.
For PostgreSQL, however, there seems to be some other error. The service seems to be down (Webmin tells me it is, and the application using it does not work either), yet systemctl status postgresql
tells me it’s up:
● postgresql.service - PostgreSQL RDBMS
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (exited) since Sun 2021-06-13 18:48:18 CEST; 4min 57s ago

Main PID: 543 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

A look at the unit file tells me it does nothing other than running true
. This seems to be a different problem than I thought I had; apparently I edited the wrong file.
