Some services will not start correctly with transientlog (bind9, isc-dhcp-server...) about transientlog

Look at the Before parameter of "log2ram.service" of log2ram. This is the solution to implement it.

Hello again

1 month ago, I played with this again. And I tries to use the idea of Before that looks good. But...

Here is my /etc/init.d/transientlog beginning :

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: transientlog
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop: 
# X-Start-Before:	$syslog bind9 console-setup cron cups dhcpcd exim4 isc-dhcp-server ntp rsyslog
# X-Stop-After:		$syslog
# X-Interactive:	yes
# Default-Start:	2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:		0 1 6
# Short-Description:	Keeps /var/log in RAM
# Description: Moves the contents of /var/log to RAM during boot
#              and keeps it there until shutdown/reboot, when it
#              copies the contents back to permanent storage.
### END INIT INFO

Notice thte X-Start-Before that is supposed to follow the idea of Before of systemd.

But... It does not work. I still need to restart the services myself after a reboot.

Did I miss something ? Have I done something wrong ?

Would a native systemd script work better than /etc/init.d/transientlog ?

Use log2ram, and test if the issue appear again. I have add a lot of improvement. May be it will be better than programming it again.
