Public bug reported:

I am running a system with a separate /var partition - this causes
errors due to various services being started before the /var partition
is mounted. As an attempt to fix this, I have tried adding the
x-initrd.mount option to the entry in /etc/fstab for the /var partition,
according to
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.special.html
this should add the partition to the sysroot-usr.mount target.

Example fstab entry

UUID={*irrelevant to bug report*}  /var            ext4
defaults,x-initrd.mount        0       2

What actually happens is that this causes the partition not to be
mounted at all after boot. Using sudo mount -a does nevertheless
successfully mount the partition.

Reproducible: always
