Hey gang, I'm still seeing this on 14.04.  I'm sorry there hasn't been
"activity" for 60 days, but this bug is still very real and annoying.
Can we reopen it?

This shouldn't be happening, and it is disconcerting for less
experienced users who think their system is broken when (apparently) it
really isn't.

Title:
  systemd-udev fails to execute alsactl during start-up if /usr and/or
  /var are separate volumes

Status in “alsa-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During system startup systemd-udev will print the following error
  messages:

  [   15.089778] systemd-udevd[683]: failed to execute '/usr/sbin/alsactl' '/usr/sbin/alsactl -E HOME=/var/run/alsa restore 0': No such file or directory
  [   15.090130] systemd-udevd[684]: failed to execute '/usr/sbin/alsactl' '/usr/sbin/alsactl -E HOME=/var/run/alsa restore 1': No such file or directory

  alsactl is present:

  $ which alsactl
  /usr/sbin/alsactl

  but on a separate partition:
  $ df -h /usr/sbin/alsactl 
  Dateisystem            Größe Benutzt Verf. Verw% Eingehängt auf
  /dev/mapper/scaleo-usr   12G    6,6G  4,1G   62% /usr

  $ df -h /var
  Dateisystem            Größe Benutzt Verf. Verw% Eingehängt auf
  /dev/mapper/scaleo-var  7,3G    2,5G  4,4G   37% /var

  This suggests that systemd-udev is called before all local partitions
  have been mounted.
