Searching for 'linux systemd settle' got me a pointer to the man page for systemd-udev-settle.service, though it's not installed on my machine. https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages//man8/systemd-udev-settle.service.8.htm... Felix says he has disabled it on his systems because, as the man page says, it's not recommended that it be used. Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64

JLT> How does one disable it?

systemctl mask systemd-udev-settle.service

Why/how is it enabled in the first place if it is recommended not to be used?

How does one disable it?

systemctl mask systemd-udev-settle.service

I thought masking was supposed to be done after stopping and disabling? My method, in order: # systemctl status <service> # be sure no typos, then <ENTER> # systemctl stop <service> # <UP>, remove status, type stop, <ENTER> # systemctl disable <service> # <UP>, remove stop, type disable, <ENTER> # systemctl mask <service> # <UP>, remove disable, type mask, <ENTER> I suppose YaST should offer this as well, but I see no edit button there (in 15.2). -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.
