+Subject: [PATCH] units: don't order journal flushing afte remote-fs.target
+
+Instead, only depend on the actual file systems we need.
+
+This should solve dep loops on setups where remote-fs.target is moved
+into late boot.
+
+[ Picked from upstream commit 919699ec301ea507edce4a619141ed22e789ac0d.
+  The upstream commit contains unrelated changes in nspawn by mistake.
+  They've been stripped in this backport. -- mschmidt ]
