[Bug 1620780] Re: dev-sda2.device job running and times out

[Martin Pitt]

In Scott's local instances he gets "systemctl is-system-running" ==
"starting" with

JOB UNIT            TYPE  STATE  
  2 dev-sda2.device start running

So there is some impedance mismatch between is-system-running and
Type=idle -- apparently the idle unit already starts while the above
sda2.device is still running (or, perhaps, it flips *back* to starting
while it is already running).

In both Scott's VM and local LXD I never get dev-sdaX.device as
"running", only as "activating tentative" (and that does not time out);
consequently is-system-running does not say "starting" after reaching
multi-user.target, and invoke-rc.d DTRT.

Scott's debug journal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23153994/

So currently I lack a way of reproducing that "running" state.
